Bushy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 I am creating a ISO Disc Image. My Video_TS folder is 4.50 GB (4,837,322,752 bytes) I select the Video_TS folder and regardless of the options chosen I always end up with a 8 gig ISO requiring a DL DVD. What am I doing wrong? Here's the log file: I 07:02:34 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Your files are too large for a single layer disc and so require a DL anyway. The size grows so much because you're applying a LOT of padding in order to use your chosen layer break position. I 07:07:02 Using Layer Break LBA: 323304 -> 2038976 (VTS_01, PGC: 1, Chapter: 5, Cell: 5, Vob/Cell ID: 1/5, Time: 00:11:35, SPLIP: Yes -> No) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a FAQ about Layer Breaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 When you go to make the ISO or Write a DL disc the program will bring up a screen showing you all the potential positions for a layer break. For this project it's a waste of time burning it to a DL disc, just shrink it by a fraction and it'll go on a single layer disc. You can google for how to do that... think of google as a giant FAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushy Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 I choose a different Layer Break and ALMOST got the file size done to the single layer limit. So now I'm using DVD shrink to get it where it needs to be. I'll try Googling "Layer Breaks" to get a handle on its significance. Thanks for the suggestions.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 If it offers you anything to do with a layer break then it's never going to fit on a SL disc If it did, it wouldn't prompt you in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
