DVD9 Authoring/Burning using DVDLab Pro and Imgburn (Layer Break Help)

Author

So I have finally completed my first edit and have finished the construction of the DVD. Now my next step is to compile, and burn the DVD. this is my first DVD9 project that I have authored and I am running into a bit of a problem. I recently compiled the DVD and tried to burn it with ImgBurn. I wanted my edit to have the highest quality that it could get on a DVD so the main movie is the largest video on the disc. However, Imgburn prompted me to set a Layer break point for my project and i was not sure what to do. All of the suggested layer break points are grey stars (I guess that they are average?) and I dont have any green stars. I dont want to pick the wrong thing and have to trash a DVD (These things are kind expensive). I also dont want there to be a big “jump” or hesitation when watching the DVD. I have noticed that i can set a break point in DVDLab as a “pre-master” but even when I choose a point in DVDLab i am still prompted to choose a point in Imgburn. I would also like to be able to create an ISO of this project with the layer break pre-set so that others that want to burn this dvd can without having to go through the same headache i am going through.
