4gb limit

[jim]

Hi, I have just purchased a pioneer drv 104 and have just creared my first dvd-r and it WORKS!
My query is : when I try to strip a large movie ie phantom menace , using smartripper I encounter the 4GB file limit.How can I cut the m2v file so it does say 50% of the movie in smartripper?So I end up with 2 smaller files?Or what other programs should I use?
I tried splitting TPM with ifoedit but I find that the opening credits repeat themselves!
Has anyone ripped it successfully ?
Iknow that to overcome the file limit I have to upgrade to win2000 or XP
thanks

rip it to vobs - instead of file stream ...

or do the sensble thing for video encoding/ripping and convert a drive to nfs file system

I am using Win2000 Pro (Thank God)! And I also use IfoEdit to strip streams I don't need (ie. Spanish, French, etc. subs and audio) Here's a link I used to learn how to use IfoEdit.

Lok at the settings in Smartripper and make sure max file size is set to 9000MB instead of 4000MB which is default. And i assume your are using an ntfs file system i.e win 2k or xp pro. If not u need to upgrade to do sucessful dvds.
