Burning Double Layer DVD with no Layer Break. | ||
| aspen matthews posted 2006 May 25 01:19 | ||
| How do I create a double layer from VOBs with no layer break infomation? I tried with pgcedit and it wouldnt let me set a layer break point. Is there a program I can use to manually set a cell as a break point. Thanks for the help. | ||

| Create an ISO with imgtools classic, then use DVD Decrypter/imgburn to create layer break and burn to disc. | ||

| AFAIK the layer break must be on the start of a new cell or chapter. I found DVDRemake to be excellent at splitting cells. Judging the point at which to split can be a bit of fun though. See http://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=301143&highlight= for my experiences. | ||

| Hi-
Did you follow this guide for PGCEdit when trying to set the layer break: http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/third_party/blutach/dl_bur ... gcedit.htm | ||

That works fine ..... when you have a cell in the appropriate area. I found that I needed to create a cell that starts between the two sector values so that the dialog in step 7 to display a point to set the layer break at. I don't suppose it is relatively easy to split cells in PGCEdit ? | ||

| Sorry Jim. My fault. I was addressing aspen matthews who said he had tried PGCEdit without success. Me, I've never burned a dual layer DVD in my life and was just pointing out the guide in case he hadn't seen it.
You didn't mention PGCEdit in your post, and I didn't read the link you had. If that thread mentions PGCEdit, then I haven't seen it. | ||

yes, thats the problem. When I try to create the ISO I get an error message, saying pgcedit can't find a layer break point. | ||
| manono posted 2006 May 25 10:51 | ||
| Oh, so you had the same problem as Jim did. Maybe check out his link and try and solve it the same way. I don't know how to split cells using PGCEdit. Sorry. | ||

| aspen matthews,
Assuming you're using the latest PgcEdit, when it puts up the error message saying it can't find a suitable cell, look in the section that starts with "Note for expert users:". It will suggest which cell to split. Just open the your dvd folder in VobBlanker, go to the cell PgcEdit suggested, and click the "Split" button. A new window pops up where you can scroll the cell contents to where you want to split it. Click the "Mark" button to set the split point, and click the "OK" button. Close anything needed to get back to the main VobBlanker screen. Select the directory where you want the new version of the dvd to go, and click the "Process" button. When VobBlanker is done, open the new version of the dvd in PgcEdit, and try to set the layer break point again (in PgcEdit). | ||

:thumbs_up: Don't mention it :wink: :lol: Naaa, I knew you weren't specifically talking to me, but I thought I'd add what I thought was the problem and sure enough it was, so nothing lost, eh ? | ||

| This is quite a old thread. I just use ImgBurn now and it gives me several choices for layer breaks. :) | ||
| skaleton posted 2009 Oct 24 13:26 | ||
| Yes but what do you do when ImgBurn is "unable to find any cell that could be used for the layer break? |
