5 To remove the current Layer Break, select the No Layer Break button.
6 Set the Track Path to either Parallel or Opposite. This determines how the DVD player
transitions to the second layer of the disc on playback.
Parallel The disc is formatted so that the data tracks of both layers are written from the
disc center to the outer edge. This option provides slower transition times for playback
across the Layer Break, since the DVD player drive head transitions from the outer edge
of the first layer back to the disc center of the second layer.
Opposite The disc is formatted so that the data track for the first layer (Layer 0) is
written from the disc center to the outer edge, and then continues with the second layer
(Layer 1) from the outer edge back to the disc center. Select this option when you need
the shortest interruption in playback across the Layer Break, since the laser beam
transitions from the outer edge of the first layer to the outer edge of the second layer.
When using Opposite, the size of Layer 1 must be smaller than that of Layer 0.
