notec1 Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 What if the SPLIP column displays only Yes'? What is SPLIP and why is it important (or not) to position the LB on one tagged as No?
blutach Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 SPLIP is what you might know as the "layer break flag". It indicates the break in the playback is either not noticeable (seamless = yes) or non-seamless (no). Most cells are seamless, they play merrily without a little pause. At the layerbreak, there is usually a little pause when you change layers to allow time for the laser to adjust its focus to layer 1. As well, at the LB, sometimes audio buffers run out. However, recent research shows that you may not HAVE to have it as non-seamless and experience that horrible pause. You need to experiment and see. If you know for sure your players can play seamless layer breaks, tick seamless layer break. Otherwise, make them standard non-seamless layerbreaks and live with the pause. There is an excellent thread on this at doom9 started by Jamos in the IFO/VOB Editors section in connection with PgcEdit's implementation of Seamless Layer Break. See here. Regards

Regards Which means..I do not necessary have to experience the little pause even if I burn my dual layer DVDs with non-seamless layer breaks? Coz so far I have not experience any pause from the dual layer DVD's ive burnt..and all of them are burnt with non-seamless layer breaks Edited July 1, 2007 by deejay220989
blutach Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 That is quite surprising, as making a cell non-seamless (even if it is muxed seamlessly, as the cells would be) generally gives a noticeable and irritating effect. Regards

Regards Ive burnt a dual layer DVD last year..with Nero and my player cant play it >< but my friend's player is able to play that DVD... So I'm guessing that my player doesnt support seamless LB
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 I'm not sure that's a LB issue, it's probably a media readability issue.
deejay220989 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 I'm not sure that's a LB issue, it's probably a media readability issue. I'm using MKM001 (Mitsubishi) that time till now.. And my player can only read dual layer DVDs burnt using ImgBurn but not Nero
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 LB issues normally only show themselves during playback. You must have a very picky drive if it just flat out refuses to play the disc at all!

blutach Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Depending where those warnings are, this may not be a LB issue. They can be anywhere on the disk, so you'd need to examine the DVD structure to determine this. Sounds like a media thing though. Maybe you got a bad disk. Regards

Regards Hi i still dont understand whats it all about this SPLIP. Why is the splip flag always only set at the average layer breaks? so when i pick one of the average its a seamless lb? and by activating the seamless option i can also make the ones seamless where the splip flag is set to NO ? Thanks
