imgburn works for dvds, also dvdfab has the option to remove the layer break (common settings - DVD - dvd protection - check "remove layer break" )
and imgburn automatically sets the layer break or user specified.

Note: in the future Attach logs instead of putting them in the message area of a post.

Also, ImgBurn works best if you if you disregard the advice in post #4 and leave the original layer break in place.

Since original dual layer DVDs that are less than 8.5 GB (but larger than 4.7 GB) will often use all of layer 0, then write the rest of the data to layer 1, leaving the layer break as the original will result in the data in layer 0 being written very close to the edge of the disc with Imgburn. Since this is the most vulnerable area of the disc to damage, I have always manually adjusted the layer break to evenly split the written data between the two layers. This will result in the data not being written as close to the edge of the disc. I have used this method since as long as I can remember and have never had any problems with any disc when playing back with any standalone player. Just my own personal experience.

Please kindly update to v11.1.0.6 to try again and feedback, it should be resolved.
