I was wondering if there's a way to actually see where the layer break will be placed in an authored project, before burning it to disc. I want a program that allows you to physically see the video as the layer switch takes place, rather than a program like IFO Edit that only gives you the numbers. Thanks!

PgcEdit can do that. Many excellent guides on site.

Wow that looks about as easy as brain surgery! All I'm looking for basically is a DVD player on my PC that can open my ISO and take me to 5 seconds before the layer break, and play the next 10 seconds or so, so I can see where on the DVD the layer will break and how the delay will look on the final DVD. Is there any such software available? Thanks again for your help.

You can prove with ImgBurn.

A mounted ISO will not behave as a standalone player, no refocus on layer switch...

I must have misunderstood this. To actually see where the layer break will be placed in an authored project, PgcEdit is the way to go. Sometimes you even get a choice where to put the lb by viewing the position that you want. But I could be wrong. If there is another way, please let me know. I am always willing to learn new techniques.

Thanks for all your help everyone! I finally got the hang of PgcEdit and it was pretty easy to create an ISO from my VIDEO_TS files. I really like the feature that lets you see where the layer break will be and how the program allows you to preview it...Great little tool. Now that PgcEdit created the ISO, can I burn it using ImgBurn, or would it be better burned with some other program? Thanks again for all the help!
