Most of the rest can be left as default, although personally I set the buffers to be quite large.ĥ - In 'EZ-Picker' mode, select either 'write files/folders to disc' or if you want an ISO image, select 'create image from files/folders'.Ħ - Point to your newly created 'Video_TS' folder from Encore, fill in the ISO & UDF data fields, set the output location if making an image and hit the GO button. Create Audio_TS folder (some players still require this even though it will usually be empty), under 'DVD Video' check every box. If you are not replicating (which is a different animal requiring different tools) then this is now as easy as pie if you follow these rules:ġ - Do not attempt to set the layer break in Encore (you cannot do this until you have compiled the disc anyway)Ģ - Output from Encore to a DVD Folder (it should create a Video_TS folder for you), making sure that you have added chapter markers in the main footage because these will be used to determine your layer break if it cannot be placed between timelines/playlists.Ĥ - (first run only) Open the settings and make sure the following options are set:Ī - Build, - File splitting Auto. If on a PC, then I cannot recommend highly enough the combination of IMGBurn and Verbatim 'Advanced Metal Azo' DVD+R DL blanks - avoid at all costs using DVD-R DL as it is not possible to set a manual layer break in -R DL discs and the break point will be automatically set to the middle of your data.
