Making copy of Bridge Over River Kwai

[daesdaemar]

I've backed up many DVDs, but I have not run across one like River Kwai. First part of the movie has xx chapters in one title set, then without any obvious change noted in the film, it continues with xx chapters in a different title set. I have the whole disc ripped to my hard drive, but I want to backup movie only? Any suggestions please...

Please...

That's a REALLY long movie, so you are not going to be able to back up the movie only without compressing it big time. You will probably find that it looks like 2 movies on 1 disk to what ever rip program you are using as it's so big. I suggest backing it up to 2 DVD's.

I guess that might be easiest, but I'd like to practice joining it. I might learn something???

Reading your post again, I see that you don't want to burn to DVD but to SVCD. In that case, you have no choice but to burn to multiple disks. That movie is 160 minutes long, and if you try to burn it all to 1 cd you would have only 718 kbps for your video, even with audio set to only 128 kbps, even with a 99 minute disk! 1 80 minute disk would be only 555 kbps for the whole movie.

Sorry if there has been a misunderstanding, but I DO want to burn to DVD-R...
