This is question I found asked, but not fully answered elsewhere. Is this a Nero bug? What can I do? I have found this is why my copies stutter and fail half way through playing. How can I put this right? I like Nero Recode as I can enable 2-pass and high quality even when no compression is necessary (whereas in Shrink these options are greyed out unless the disc is being compressed). How do you turn off layer 2 when creating an NRG image with Recode? Formerly, in earlier versions when creating a nrg image for a dvd-5, recode would make a single layer image for the single layer disc. Now with v.2.2.6.17 of Recode, when burning a to a dvd-5, the second layer (a blue indicator is shown) starts at about 50 percent. The problem is when you burn the nrg image to a dvd-5 and then watching on a standalone there is a jump when viewing at, I suppose, a layer break. In the earlier versions there was no blue indicator showing the second layer being burned nor was there a jump at the 50 percent mark. I have the layer break and PUOP's ticked for removal in the options. I am not burning to DL DVD's... just single layer. It is as though a layer break is inserted when the progress bar shows a blue second layer burning.
Any ideas. Tried reinstalling with no effect. It's really frustrating - has anyone else noticed how Recode assumes 2 layer even when "remove aler break" is ticked. DVDs then do fail half way through play.
Recode is 2.26.17 If you do try to burn a single layer image it insists on trying to burn "layer 2" and the progress bar turns a different blue at about half way through. Ticking the option to remove the layer break doesn't work it seems. The resulting 4.7gb standard DVD-R stutters and fails at 50% though playing. Nerovision - I ahve the latest one 3.1.0.25, but 3.1.0.21 was the same. Burning Rom is - 6.6.0.18
I hope some of you try this to see if you get the same problem. I would add that if it is simply that the check mark for removing the layer break for creating an .nrg image file is not working perhaps there is a simple registry edit I could do? Where would that be? Thanks again - hopefully an answer soon. Odd though.
