Does Encore let you burn 2 layers on separate discs?
I have an Encore created project that is about 7.5GB in total. I am getting this replicated and the company doing it asked if I could put each layer on a separate single layer disc. Is this possible with Encore (CS4)?
I was told that DLT was the preferred method, espectially if copy protection was being used, but there isn’t any on this disc. If I can’t put each layer on a separate disc, can I just supply a dual layer one, or is that going to cause problems when they come to replicate? I’m not sure why 2 discs would be preferable for them.

So if I give them a standard dual-layer disc, having created this from Encore, they won’t be able to replicate from this?

What the replicator is asking for are DDP images on 2 separate folders. Encore does not do this. You’ll need to use an app called Gear to create these folders. Personally, I would find farm out this work unless you know what you’re doing. Le me know if you need help.

Depends on the replicator and there abilities. You shouldn’t give out a DL disc for replication, no matter who the replicator is, for various reasons – no control over the layer break is one of them.
You need to deliver DDP files. Get a copy of Gear or DVD After Edit

OK, so with either of those programmes, will that work with the project I have already created in Encore? Or would i just take an image created with Encore and create the DDP files with it? Is it very complex?
-
Yes….you can take an image or TS folder and create DDP files. They can be complex depending on how much yo know about the dvd specification. like I said, you might be happier finding someone who knows how to do this.

Thanks. I actually just called up my contact at Sony and they’ve told me they can work from a burned dual-layer disc. Which i guess makes things easier… if they’re right!
