Any special settings for dual-layer DVD9 copy with DVD Decrypter?

    Tried making a backup of my son's copy of Lilo and Stitch. (Those of you with three-year-olds know the importance of backups! "Daddy, put this in for me!") Now that dual-layer disks are getting reasonable on sales, I figured I'd skip the usual DVDShrink rigomorale.

    So I did an ISO read, then an ISO write. I had "verify" on (since it was my first burn), but Decrypter stopped at the end of the burn, at the "cycle tray" point, before it got to the verify cycle. The disk was a coaster.

    Just curious as to whether there are any defaults, etc. that should be adjusted on DVD Decryptor when doing ISO copies DVD9>DVD9? (There don't seem to be any guides for that particular combo...)

    Also, is there a good faq anywhere that talks about layer breaks and other DVD9 issues?

    Thanks for any tips, guys.

    (I did do a search, BTW, on the DVD9 issue. Most messages just said "iso read/write" with DVD Decrypter. But given my coaster, I just wanted to make sure that was bad luck and not a setting I should have adjusted.)

    I guess I'll answer my own question...

    Did another try and the copy appears to have worked fine.

    Still curious as to whether there's a good guide somewhere to what the layer break is all about, and how to deal with it when reauthoring DVDs, etc.

    Glad the 2nd one worked out! As for dl w/ decrypter make sure you pick the .mds file to burn - this is where the layer break info is.
    Make sure your burner's firmware is up to date - this can help your burner with new/newer media.
    Here's a link for guides that may have the info you need:
