DVD-9 movie to 2 DVD-R's

[Cobra281]

hey guys, heres the problem. the dvd i'm trying to back up is dual layered. the movie itself is 5,508mb; so even if i move all the extras to another dvd disc(which i dont know how to do anyway), the movie still wouldnt fit. i dont want to compress it at all, i must retain the original picture. how can i go about doing this? what programs are recommended to copy dvd-9 movies to 2 dvd-r's? thanks for the help in advance

dvdfab can help you out.

thanks. so how does it work? it'll say "please insert disc 2" or something when the movies finished on the 1st disc?

Go to the tools section, search for DVDfab. You will find links to guides and download sites.

Check out DVDStripper too, in a similar fashion. Stripper's not so great at shrinking, but it does a good job splitting multi-angle movies, in my experience.

You can use both free, although full-featured DVDFab from latest release costs money, early free verison is also available.

yes. it will show the picture you selected to put at the disc change which may say "please insert disc 2" and when you insert disc 2 it will start playing automatically

Why not DVDShrink the main movie and/or the extras to fit wholly one 1 disc ?

[Cobra281]

thanks for the help guys . and i have dvdshrink, but i dont want to sacrifice any quality, and the movie itself is almost 6 gigs anyway

You've got good eyes or you're doing it wrong if you can tell between Shrunk and Unshrunk....
