The Tuxedo -backup help

[simonko]

I tried to backup The Tuxedo. I used Smartripper to rip it to the HD. with all the files need to backup the movie alone it came out to 6 vob files, 5.65Gigs. I then used IFOedit to remove the subs and unneeded audio, it was then shrunk down to 4.65Gigs(video, and audio 6ch only). This is still too large burn to a DVD-R.

The movie is only 99mins in lengh. Doesnt a DVD-R take 120mins? Why is this 99min movie so large? Is there a way for me to burn it to the DVD-R so it plays fine without me having to demux then edit the video as mpg and remux and place back into a vob?

It takes so long to edit 1 Gig file (demux, convert, edit remux, vob) I tried it once and it took me like 5 hours on my pc which is a 1.3Ghz AMD.

Any help is welcome, thanks.

Try DVD2ONE on a 600mhz p3 it only takes 30-40mins to cut it down to size good program to have.

Thanks for the reply,

Used DVD2one 1.0.2 to get it to the right size to burn on a DVD-R. Yes its way quicker!

Works like a charm

try dvd instantcopy conversion took like 65-70 minutes for a 3 hour movie, quality excellent on my Last of the Mohicans. on my athlon2400 btw, all in one dvd, including menu's and one audio channel

dvd2one is one way to go for just the movie... although I've also tried dvd95copy for complete movie with extra including original menu takes little longer than dvd2one but less than IC7 and quality of movie is really good and extras are highly compressed but acceptable...
