I burned a DL (Verbatim) of Hard Candy, and when I watched the disc it skipped a chapter after what I assume was the layer change - though if I went in reverse from the point it jumped to the "missing" chapter was there.
I decrypted and burned using DVDDecrypter.
I don't typically use DL discs, though I have used some Sony and Verbatims burned in the same manner with no apparent problems. The thing that worries is that I have a number of titles that I haven't watched yet, and I'm wondering if these also might have the same flaw.
Is this a common issue with all DL discs, just Verbatims, or perhaps a random fluke?

Never used ImgBurn. I'll give it a shot...
And no, I didn't verify or run a PIPO test (have to Google that).
What will verify do if it's a bad burn?

pointyskull,
I would also like to recommend ImgBurn for dvd-video, especially with dual layer media, but bad burns (or layer break problems) that I've seen are more likely to break up the picture/sound, create a distinct pause in playback, or just plain freeze. I haven't seen it cause an entire chapter to be cleanly skipped. To me, that sounds more like a navigational problem.
If you play the material on your computer, using the source files on your hard drive rather than the burned disk, does it also skip the chapter? If it does, then you've picked up a problem prior to the burning phase. If the pre-burn files don't skip that chapter when played on the computer, then a burn problem jumps to the top of the list of suspects, and following blutach's checklist is your best bet.
As to your question:Is this a common issue with all DL discs, just Verbatims, or perhaps a random fluke?
In regards to:What will verify do if it's a bad burn? -
blutach,
Like many others, I've long appreciated the large amount of very useful knowledge you've shared through your guides and postings. Thank you for the education.
pointyskull,
I apologize for this brief departure from your topic...it won't happen again. -
Another problem might be your player,I had a player that would occasionally freeze at the layer break.There's no guarantee that DVD+R DL will play correctly on all players.

Thank you VegasBud and fritzi93 for the warm welcome
There are folks everywhere who need a helping hand, not just at DD and this is a top place. Hope I can contribute a bit. Peace all.
