User
Manual. Using
DVD-R
Dual-Layer
Media If
your
system
contains
a
DVD
drive
that
can
write
to
the
new
DVD-R
dual-layer
media,
you
can
burn
your
DVD
project
to
it
with
DVD
Studio
Pro.
However,
there
are
several
issues: Â Since
there
is
no
current
way
for
DVD
Studio
Pro
to
identify
DVD-R
dual-layer
media
as
having
two
layers,
burning
a
dual-layer
project
to
it
results
in
a
warning
appearing
telling
you
that
the
DVD
media
may
have
insufficient
room
to
hold
the
project.
This
message
is
based
on
the
assumption
that
the
disc
is
single
layer.
Both
layers
of
the
disc
will
be
written
to
as
needed,
however,
when
you
click
Continue.
 If
you
are
burning
a
dual-layer
project,
the
break
point
you
set
will
not
affect
where
the
layer
break
actually
occurs.
Instead,
the
first
layer
is
written
to
until
filled,
at
which
point
the
drive
switches
to
writing
to
the
second
layer. Â The
switch
between
layers
is
a
seamless
layer
change
not
supported
by
some
DVD
players,
which
may
stop
playing
the
disc
when
the
switch
point
is
reached.
Important:
Do
not
use
DVD-R
dual-layer
media
unless
these
issues
do
not
impact
your
project.
You
can
use
DVD+R
double-layer
media
for
burning
your
dual-layer
projects.
With
DVD+R
double-layer
media,
DVD
Studio
Pro
places
the
layer
break
point
and
sets
the
switch
point
to
be
nonseamless
as
specified
in
your
project.

Previously,

It
is
important
that
you
do
not
include
any
spaces
either
before
or
after
the
filename
(RabidLemur. tif
and
MooseLemur. tif
in
this
example). Setting

incorrectly
defines
what

The

counts
up,
not
down.
Additionally,
switching
the
GPRM

from

causes
the

to

If

the

starts
