Layer break not on cell boundary ERROR

[Eric Pautsch]

Its because you sent a DVD-9 as a master…big no no!!! Basically your replicator doesn’t know who to handle the imaging from the disc correctly. The only way (without screwing things up) is to deliver on DLT or write out DDP images with tools like After Edit or Gear.

Give me a buzz if you need this done and dont want to spend the money and time to learn either tool. Or get a cheap DLT drive and a SCSI card off Ebay.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply. We actually have Gear 8 Pro Mastering here too. In your opinion, what would be the best workflow from Encore to Gear?

Should I just take the DVD-9 disc that I have and make a DDP image? Would that sort out this Layer Break issue?

Thanks again,

Clint

You’ll need to do these calculation yourself in Gear. Cells can be found at the beginning of titles and chapters markers (PTT). Its also important that these are set to non-seamless. I haven’t used Gear in years but there are tutorials on there site. Another reason why I love AfterEdit is because it gives you a graphical breakdown of your disc marking available layer breaks and makes them non-seamless automatically.

Hi Eric,

Thanks, I’m looking into both programs now. What would be the best way (knowing we can’t output to tape) to Output my DVD to use in these programs?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Eric ,

You can upgrade to CS5. In CS5 Encore can output project to DDP image with copy protection settings , which can be used for replication.DDP images are accepted by all replicaters.

Its a great feature as you donot need any hardware like DLT now for replication .

Thanks

Thats good that the new version can out put DDP images. Delivery them on a USB or thumb drive…avoid writing them to disc.

Wow, finally.
I’d not heard of this feature anywhere else.

I assume for dual layer discs it will create two DDP files sets?

I’ve been working with a state-of-the-art DVD-Video encryption technology company, who are getting the huge Technicolor plants on board, and we found issues with files created by Encore.

There’s a problem with how the files are written with UDF and ISO in the fileset.

Will be interesting to see if they Adobe fix this too.

Hi Dominic,

yes, for dual layer projects two different file set naming layer 1 and layer 2 will be created.

Some users in prerelease program of adobe have used this DDP feature and they are quite happy with it.Relication facilities have no issues with these DDP files.

Thanks

Hi Dominic

As you mentioned : “There’s a problem with how the files are written with UDF and ISO in the fileset”

Can you explain this what kind of issues you are observing?
Are you verifying DVDs on some kind of file verification tools , if yes which one?
Are you getting errors while replication ?

This will help in understanding of issue .

Thanks
