    hello,

    i first burn with nero my project done with encoreDVD 1.51, with a verbatim dvd-r dl. the dvd was working perfectly on my jvc (xv-n50) but was not functionnal in a panasonic (dvd-s27) and a cambridge audio (dvd55), some button don’t work, and player freeze or go elsewhere in the dvd, especially link into a chapter on a timeline. i redo (it was impossible to open the 1.51 project, i don’t why) it with encoredvd 2.0 and i did the same thing (burn with nero, and a verbatim dvd-r dl). i got the same result (works perfectly in my jvc but menu freeze with the cambridge audio and the jvc).

    i took the video_ts folder on my computer and puted in into dvd-shrink, to do a one layer dvd, it work’s well. (even if there is around 25 menu and a lot of time line. no principal timeline, very “interactive”, it gave 32 vob files..)

    then, i reed and reed, here’s what i understand:
    – it’s better to burn the dvd directly with encoreDVD (because of the breaking point probably), and encore is compatible with +r dl only.

    – with writable dvdr, layers seems to be thinner than original dl, so people said on some forum that a maximum of 7mb/s sould be permit.

    so i guest that burning a dvd+r at 7mb/s max should works. i will try that tomorow.

    but here is my question:

    this dvd project is for printing, and 7mb/s max is not ideal for distribution.
    so, because the dual layer video_ts folder generated by encore works (prooved by shrinking into a single layer dvd), i guest i could give this folder, or a .img, to the printing shop and their printed dvd should works perfectly? (because layer will not be thinner)

    thanks a lot for reading (and for a possible answer), english is not my native language as you could have realize.

    regards,
    marc-antoine

    Hi

    /* i first burn with nero my project done with encoreDVD 1.51, with a verbatim dvd-r dl. the dvd was working perfectly on my jvc (xv-n50) but was not functionnal in a panasonic (dvd-s27) and a cambridge audio (dvd55), some button don’t work */

    NERO can not burn playable DVD+/-R DL disks!
    Nero do not check layer break position and try to record DL disk as 50/50.
    DO NOT USE NERO to burn DVD-VIDEO DL disks!!!!!!!!
    A don’t know how old your DVD-players, but i know 100% what need to burn 100% playble DVD+R DL, bring it to plant and get 100% work DVDs:
    1. Create VIDEO_TS folder with files. Calculate MPEG2 stream from film length/menus/etc.
    2. Download ImgBurn software
    3. See recorders list that support book-type changing (i use NEC 3551)
    4. Set book-type to DVD-ROM for DVD+R DL disks
    5. Open VIDEO_TS folder, Imgburn promt you where need to place LayerBreak, or calculate optimal.
    6. Write disk at 2x or 4x
    7. Insert to any dvd player and be happy 🙂

    /* this dvd project is for printing, and 7mb/s max is not ideal for distribution. */

    calculate it!

    /* so, because the dual layer video_ts folder generated by encore works (prooved by shrinking into a single layer dvd), i guest i could give this folder, or a .img, to the printing shop and their printed dvd should works perfectly? (because layer will not be thinner)
    */

    50/50. plants can not set layerbreak in images. you must:
    1. DVD+/-R DL disk
    2. PlantDirect files (can be generated from GEAR7, Sonic Rom Formatter, Sonic Scenarist)
