Well here's the deal.
I'm trying to backup a concert DVD to a double layer DVDR. The concert is spread across 2 VTSs (don't know why).
I ran it through different programs (such as DVDDecrypter, DVDFab Decrypter, DVD Shrink, etc) to get rid of what I'm about to show you, but nothing works. All the layer breaks are still there. Take a look:
So then when I try to build the image with ImgBurn, this is what I get.
Which layer break position should I choose? What should I do, in general?
Thanks in advance.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Click on any of them any preview it. That will show you what the least intrusive layer break will look like.

I'm assuming that you want to make an exact 1:1 backup. If you rip the DVD to an ISO (image) file, rather than VOB's, you'll retain the original layer break and eliminate the need to build one with ImgBurn. When you rip to VOB (file mode) you lose the original layer break and then have to choose one when burning, the way you're doing it now is just adding another unnecessary step.
DVD Fab HD Decrypter/DVD Decrypter/DVD Shrink (you're preference) > ISO (image file) > ImgBurn. -
tomcar,
Are you familiar with the saying..."The road to hell is paved with good intentions"? Your project is presently sitting smack in the middle of downtown hell. The road that got you there was paved with good intentions, but was going in the wrong direction.
Those aren't layer breaks, they're just cells that are marked for seamless playback so a player will know how to work with them. The real layer break was removed by the drive as the dvd was being read.
Which layer break position should I choose?
What should I do, in general?
Leave those seamless playback flags alone. -

So...DVD Decrypter > ISO (image) and MDS file > ImgBurn (choose the MDS)
