DVD9 to DLT??
A client requires me to make a DLT from his DVD-9 disc (... so that he can put copyright protection on the reps). Sadly the DVD9 is the only existing copy of the DVD footage.
I was thinking that if I copied his Video TS folder (..and Audio TS) into a new folder that I could select this as the build folder within Studio Pro and format it to DLT in the usual way.
However when I try to do this an error box tells me that the dual layer break point cannot be found or isn't available. It isn't possible to select one on the chapter list given - all options are blanked out. The disc itself plays fine on all players so there'd appear to be no problem with the break point that was chosen on the the original when authored.
I'm not sure what software the client authored on but I can find out if this would shed light on the problem.
Does anyone have experience of this problem or does anyone know if it's possible to format to DLT from a DVD9 authored on another system?
Someone mentioned to me that Rep Houses don't like running from DVD9 as a Rep master source. Anyone know if this is the case?
Thanks for all & any suggestions.
