best way to split an eposodic dvd-9 with multiple vob's?

[joshcali]

ok, so I've read the guide on splitting a dvd-9 using ifoedit. This seems to work great on episodic disks where the episodes come in 1 big vob structure, like this example from the outer limits where the episodes come in 1 big VTS_01 (this is easily splittable in ifo edit:

but what do you do with something like supernatural where the episodes come in multiple VTS chains like this:

20,480 VIDEO_TS.BUP
20,480 VIDEO_TS.IFO
142,540,800 VIDEO_TS.VOB
102,400 VTS_01_0.BUP
102,400 VTS_01_0.IFO
40,089,600 VTS_01_0.VOB
1,073,666,048 VTS_01_1.VOB
1,073,537,024 VTS_01_2.VOB
1,073,590,272 VTS_01_3.VOB
614,920,192 VTS_01_4.VOB
88,064 VTS_02_0.BUP
88,064 VTS_02_0.IFO
1,073,498,112 VTS_02_1.VOB
1,073,555,456 VTS_02_2.VOB
1,073,485,824 VTS_02_3.VOB
384,507,904 VTS_02_4.VOB
20,480 VTS_03_0.BUP
20,480 VTS_03_0.IFO
161,452,032 VTS_03_1.VOB
14,336 VTS_04_0.BUP
14,336 VTS_04_0.IFO

12,288 VTS_05_0.BUP
12,288 VTS_05_0.IFO
95,168,512 VTS_05_1.VOB

or battlestar galactica season 2 disk 1 where it seems like some episodes are combined in 1 vts, while others are split like this:

26,624 VIDEO_TS.IFO
215,107,584 VIDEO_TS.VOB
26,624 VIDEO_TS.BUP

what's the best way to split this onto 2 dvd-r's?

thanks!

VOBBlanker is one way.

Basically for disc 1 you blank the bolded files:

Of course there may be things like studio clips, copyright / FBI warnings etc etc that you can take out as well.
