I should also point out that the client has wiped all their cards in order to clear space for the next episodes shoot and that we have all the correct, up-to-date canon utility installed using our MC5.5.1 and our 5.0.

This is a pretty urgent predicament as I have a meeting with the execs about it on Monday GMT.

Hi guys,

Thankyou for opening up a discussion on this matter.

I have sent off the finished burns to the guy in hope that it is just my dvd player being an old one that is slowly dying a death. Since then I have had a few different brain waves in which to try and solve my problem.

1) Could it possibly be the type of dual layer dvd i have been using? I burnt off a copy of an old version and had no problems which was -r and burnt at 1x speed. This worked fine but as i said it was an old version (same run time) but needed things changing

when i used -r’s to burn off the finished product it was a different dvd brand which would only let me burn at 2.4 slowest speed

I have since done more research that suggested that +r dvds are the way to go when working with dual layer?

2) When i restarted the project from scratch to hopefully solve the breaking issue i set the layer break to the start of a chapter rather than my chosen specific destination on the time line. This is when the breaking issue occured in comparrison to the draft version which had no playback issues.

Could it be that by situating the break on a chapter point that i am having these issues?

3) I am contemplating using Gear to reposition the layer break then burn as an ifo? could this solve my problem?

I read that these issues occur when the timeline is over 2 hours. The thing is that my project has two time lines. One being an hour and five minutes and the other being forty five so it is not exceeding the 2 hour mark that you stated.

Could really do with some help here guys!!!

Thanks again

Mark
