"Most common was reports of people getting a noticeable pause during playback on the layer break, rather than the seamless playback of factory pressed DL DVD's."
This is also a function of the player. My old Toshiba does this on all commercial DVDs.

It would probably just be a matter of the DVD player manufacturers optimizing their firmware to work seamlessly with DL DVDr's; or maybe it isn't even a problem still. It has been quite a while since I read anything about it. People seemed to be getting the best results (in regard to backing up commercial DL DVD's onto DL DVDr's) by creating an ISO with DVD Decrypter and then using DVD Decrypter to burn from the MD5 file. Of course, more variables are introduced when you author your own DVD, such as how the authoring software sets the layer break and how the burning software implements it (Nero for example has a unique way of doing this I believe); as well as the everpresent variable of the media and burner and burn routine coded in the burner's firmware for specific media.
