Question about DVD-DL burning

[h00z]

I was just wondering something, and a quick search of the forums here didn't help much. When we all start burning DL back-ups, it should be pretty easy. No more recoding, no more reauthoring, etc, etc.

The question I have is how will the burning be affected by the layer break on the original DVD? Right now I get occaisional problems with the layer break on my recompressed DVDs (player hangs, skips, etc). How will the layer break mess with things when there really is a layer break on the burned disk, but maybe not in exactly the same place as the original?

DVDShrink removes the layer break (DVD-RB doesn't yet AFAIK), but won't we want it left in on a DL burn?

I would think that since Nero already changes the ifos (get vts sectors) if they need changing, that it will be capable of shifting the layer break, or just simply switch layers from where the break is.

They need to have this smart feature cause people will author larger than 4.37GB home movies (and the authoring packages dont author for dual layer) and expect nero to burn them succesfully.

If not Nero, I'm sure some other program will be able to do it.

Latest Version of Nero supports DL. If i remember correctly, it analyzes the .ifos where the Layer-Break is and burns the DVD with this Information.
