Re: What is the advantage of PTP?

PTP is Parallel Track Path, and it can still be copied.
Trouble is, it cannot be copied as authored because no DL discs exist that can be written in PTP mode.
Writing a DVD9 PTP authored disc to a blank DL OTP formatted disc will result in the layer break not going where it was supposed to be because with OTP authoring (As is normally used in DVD-Video) Layer 0 must be larger than Layer 1.
With PTP, it doesn't matter and Layer 0 can be smaller than layer 1.
Anyway, writing in OTP mode will move the layer break, and introduce one where there was not one previously. As a result, the audio will probably glitch at the break point.
