I did. The closest thing that was available was -dvd-video, but it pads all files, not just ones around a layerbreak. -pad only pads the end of the image. > > Why do you believe there is a problem? > Cdrecord burns DVD+-R DL in PTP mode, so it's going to be inefficient in terms of I/O if there's a file that's halfway on one layer and halfway on the other. Were there padding or a dummy file, this would not be an issue. Hence, the asking about introducing padding around a layerbreak area.
