Double layer dvd's

[rui.m.godinho]

I've made some dvd movie with sucess.
But being a really fan of "The Rock" as giving me some head pains.
The dvd as two sides, 1st part of the film is in side A and the other part of the film in side B.
If I rip the two sides to the hdd and rename the vobs of the side B for example vts_01_xx.vob continuing the number of the files of side A, will this resolve my problem. I mean, witch ifo should I work with the ifoedit. With this method the subtitles (cause I from Portugal) won't be secrewed the same with the sound.
Conclusion is there a guide for making a dvd movie with 2 sides in 1 dvd.

In vobinstant what's the meaning of UDF 1.02/1.05/2.00 ... ?

Last question, is there a retailer in europe that distribuit dvdr's on a lower price to other countrys in europe.
Sorry for my english.

just for your last question, try www.apple.com then change the country to portugal (don't know if it's possible) then go to the online store
my 2 packs of 5 dvdr have been received fine here (france)

That's a good question. I'm not sure about that. If the time on the 2.nd side start's again at zero, then it wont work I think.
But it would work, if the second side uses a different VOB-ID.

I'll check that with one of my DVDs. I've got here Pretty Woman R2, also splittet to 2 sides.
Maybe I'll just need to do some little modifications to IfoEdit to get that to work.

I'll check it out this week, and let you know.

By the way...

I have made 6 movies and they all work in my sony (ns700v) they all have menus. I've recorded them with nero, recordnow and vobinstant.
But my problem is that in a phillips settop some of them don't work. I noticed that 2 memorex did't work so probably it may be from the dvd-r media from memorex. The ones that worked were 3 from vivastar. Other one from from verbatim also didn't work. The ones who worked were, Pearl Harbor (without menus) Frequency and Evolution. The mummy returns, Doctor T. and Along Came A Spider didn't. Probably the problems aren't in the movies but probably in the media.
Do you guys, couldn't give me a tip on witch software should I use often then nero, recordnow or vobinstan. If I record them with Prassi will this solve my problem (and of some ppl to).
I'm asking this becuase my intention is to trade $ome dvd's :) and I cannot affort to have complains like "This dvd is not working, that is not working". Eventually you will say that I should wait until a brilliant software (probably made by Derow) that can solve this problem or I should by some media that I know that will work for sure in any standalone.
What software are you guys using with best results ? I heard something about dvd calibration !!!

I user PrimoDVD and GearDVD.
Primo rarely fails me.
if so, the i use gear.
gear is good because it validates all you dvd files when you import.
