About Dual-Layer Discs
Dual-layer discs present several challenges:
• You can only fully test the break point if your system can burn to double-layer media: When
you burn a dual-layer project to a double-layer disc using DVD Studio Pro, the break
point, where the DVD player switches from one layer to the other, is placed as it would
be with a replicated disc. See
for more information.
Note: DVD Studio Pro also allows you to burn a dual-layer project to a single-layer disc.
In this case, all of the first layer and as much of the second layer as possible is written
to the disc, with the marker that is used as the break point set to be non-seamless
(unless you have chosen the seamless layer change setting).
