  • How to Check What’s Where (Layer-wise)?

    Posted by William Carr on November 3, 2009 at 5:57 am

    DVD Studio Pro, latest version. New MacPro.

    Reviewed posts, articles, manual. Successfully created a test DL video DVD, OTP. It worked great on a bunch of typical DVD players, an XBox, a computer.

    The test is for a project to finish ASAP– a feature length documentary plus 4 short films as extras, each asset on its own track.
    –There are no Chapters (more precisely, there is one chapter per track).
    –The simple menu offers a button for each item.
    –The feature asset is 3.4GB and the extras are altogether about 2.6GB.

    I could not figure out how to specify which asset goes on which level, but I did follow advice on the Cow: build the job with break set to Automatic, check the Build & Format window’s Disc/Volume tab, Layer Break pulldown.
    Listed in the dropdown is:

    “Track 1::Track 1”

    and,

    “Automatic”

    Does this mean the complete feature asset (which is located on Track 1) is on level 0? That would be cool.
    I want the feature on level 0 and the extras on level 1; this strategy is so the break isn’t in the middle of one of the extras.
    Is there a way to check where the break happened?
