Burning dual layer VIDEO_TS in Toast 7.1.3 fails

I don't know if this is an issue with your older version of Toast, but try this: Choose Save as Disc image instead of clicking the burn button. Then burn the disc image using the Image File setting in the Toast Copy window to your Verbatim DL disc.

Or you can also just save as a Disc Image and burn using Disk Utlity, Toast and my new burner was having issues, this method worked though

Just goes to show you that people are not obselete quite yet, so we can relax no Terminator on the horizon - yet. If you are doing many dvds often there are stand alone duplicators that will do batches.

I am not sure (haven't tried) but there may be a way to do this via Apple Script or automater.

Hi Drew, really, Disk Utility been updated to handle the layer break? that's interesting if true. Do you know it works?

Cheers,

that's interesting if true. Do you know how it works?

Meant to put 'how it works' not 'do you know it works'. As in does it try to split the data equally etc?

Good question. I have a project I can load which had a layer break that was fairly clear (position wise not too much leeway) and will write an image and see if I can see the break on the DVD. Not sure if loading the DVD into DVD AE will show the actual break on the DVD, never tried that - do you know if it will?

The reason I wondered was cause this thread is about dual layer VIDEO_TS's and there is no layer break info in an .img as well as not knowing if DU would change a cell to non-seamless cell (I doubt it would!). Toast tries to split the data equally amongst the two layers but I've never seen a Apple KB Article about DU & DVD9 pre-mastering support,

Cheers,
