I've had no problems so far with dual layer disks, except for my Avatar disk which uses some gnarly protection (soo James Cameron). Anyway, I have some 100GB BDXL disks for the big 4k movies and I've read some home players will play a triple layer disk if you only burn two layers. After trying a bunch of permutations and generating a lot of coasters, I'm scratching my head.
I have a Panasonic DP-UB820 player and I love it so far. The manual doesn't say it can read triple layer disks, but some guy on the internet said it does if you only write two layers on a three layer disk.

I'm looking for a known workflow. I've generated a MKV with only the movie and burned it a couple ways, including with tsMuxerGUI. I also made a raw ISO of the disk and tried to burn that and a bunch of other permutations.
Does anyone know if there is a trick to writing to only the first two layers? Any tsMuxerGUI tricks? I assume the drive would just write the first two layers first but I want to confirm it. Maybe I need to close the disk in a special way? Do I rip an ISO, use a MKV as a source? After a workflow is confirmed, I can get some more confidence than my player just won't do it.
