I posted this in the GEAR forum but no reply and I'm hoping to get this thing done today, so hoping someone sees my post

GEAR was able to import my VIDEO_TS files and didn't complain about anything. But I wanted to verify that the layer break point was set correctly by following this guide:

http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/dvdvideobreakpoint.cfm

The total volume in sectors is 4,131,776 and in the log window when I imported the VIDEO_TS, it says DVD9Layer2SplitOffest=257,806 in the log. But that appears to be entirely wrong!!

So, I downloaded the spreadsheet calculator and followed the directions. At the end of the calculation, the calculator tells me sector 2,069,968 or 129,373 ECC blocks. I should probably mention that the final calculation was based on "To align this position with an ECC boundary, move the entire image forward by 10 sectors"

SO... When I imported the VIDEO_TS (and then my ROM folder), the ECC for the layer break was reported as 257,806 and the calculator tells me the correct one is 129,373.

Upon browsing this forum a bit, I have noticed some discussion on the start sector for VIDEO_TS.IFO is supposed to be 640? On my Encore CS3 imported project, it says 635 - Is this a problem? When I go to enable the option for "ask for start vector at each file," Should I be entering 645 or 650 (adding 10 to 635 or adding 10 to 640)? I also have a ROM folder with about 75 small files - do I need to increase the start sector for every one of those as well?

Anyone that's been through this already have any input? Thanks
