I have this warning when I'm burning...

[gmale]

OK, here's the deal. I was using DVDD for burning, but I decided to jump to ImageBurn for the burnings now.
I'm ripping and burning dual layers. I'm not rich, but I like to be a perfectionist, heh.

I get a warning everytime I start burning.
The warning is in the bold. I don't know what it means and I'm scared because it costs about 3 bucks for each Dual Layered DVD.

Also, what is the difference between DAO and SAO? Because would it mess with my Dual Layer DVDs?

I'm just concern because we all know that 3 bucks for a DL is expensive.

Thanks in advance.

You have not set the layer break! (See the warning?)

Better set it or only good for coffee.

Plus chuck the Riteks away - get Verbatims instead.

Makes no sense!

In DVDShrink, I made it so that they would not "remove layer break"

Can you explain further?

[blutach]

What in god's name are you using DVD Shrink for? It's a DL disk!

Method:

1. Rip in ISO read mode in DVD Decrypter.
2. Pop in DL disk. Double click MDS file and press big green button.

No need to ever leave DVD Decrypter.

Hello all, i was wandering what im doing wrong with imgburn, it seems it only wants to burn mds files, and if there bigger than 4.7 they wont fit on a dvd5 useing dvdd to rip what am i doing wrong ,

[blutach]

Hi mill. Anything bigger than 4.7GB (actually 4480Mb or so) requires shrinking or a dual layer disk.

The MDS is just a little file with some info in it about the ISO. (edited)

Blutach, I have the same question as gmale basically. I use shrink to get rid of fbi warnings, etc before ripping as an iso file, otherwise I'd use decrypter to read then write.

So, do you or anyone know if in Shrink if I should leave Remove layer break checked or unchecked. My last coaster had it checked. Then the log from Imgburn was as follows:

Everything seemed ok till the verification step, and the discs wouldn't load in any of my DVD players. Please help. (And don't just tell me to buy Verbatim please)

My recommendation:

1. Rip with DVD Decrypter (file mode)
2. Process with PgcEdit ("Kill PGC Playback" on warnings etc)
3. Create Image & Burn from within PgcEdit (uses mkisofs & Imgburn)

PgcEdit will set Layer Break properly for you.

You could also blank with VobBlanker between steps 2 & 3, but sort of pointless as you don't need to save the space on DL's.

[lfcrule1972]

I wouldn't use Ritek DL's either, I have seen very few good reports on them. The best option is Verbatim DL discs

Blutach, I have the same question as gmale basically. I use shrink to get rid of fbi warnings,
