I have been making DL DVDs for quite some time in Encore CS6 !but now I am having this issue even when exported as an .iso and burning in Toast. I have had to revert back to a miraculously working version of Final Cut DVD studio (burns fail unless i create a disc image in TOAST as well) There could be several points of failure but I know for sure I have everything in order. Simulator plays perfectly but the discs all break at the layer and jump to the menu is indicated to do at the end of the timeline.

Not sure how much this will help in your troubleshooting, but the behavior that you're describing indicates that the second layer is not present.

It certainly does - any chance of a look at a project?

You get the same jump to menu with the Final Cut DVD? Or that is correct?

What simulator are you using?

Layer breaks can be a problem for Encore. The fall back I know is building from Encore as a folder (with no layer break), and using ImgBurn (windows only) to create the layer break.

Does an old project work?

Is this DVD different in some way from others that work? For example, a very long movie without a chapter or other natural place for the layer break? Each layer must be smaller than half the disk.
