divide a large dvd into 2 parts?

I have a movie with 194 minutes, plus some extra features I'd like to back up, but the quality (compression ratio) will be poor if I put it to a single 4.7 gig dvd.

Using VolBlanker, can I go in and remove some of the chapters and features on one burn and then do the same on a separate disc to get all of the movie and features in better quality on 2 discs?

You guys have always been helpful and prompt in the past with my request, so I thank you all in advance.

Regards,
Member

I don't know if you can, or not, but I suggest you get some DL discs...

Leave a personal message for alkohol who is the vobBlanker GURU. I don't think this is possible though with vobBlanker. I believe you would need to use something like DVD-Rebuilder which I am not familiar with. Look at DVD-Rebuilder forum for info and see if that is what you want.
As XxRUINSxX stated may want to invest in a few DL discs for those particular movies you want to back up and avoid the quality loss with compresssion to a DVD-5 disc. At $2 to $3 per disc a bit pricy to me right now and will wait until are more reasonable. I remember when CD-R were $5 a pop! With 4.7GB discs so cheap might want to do a backup and see if the quality really that bad. Watch some of my backups at a friends house on his 52" plasma HD TV with the theater sound system bells and whistles and have yet to see a real decrease in the picture or sound.


To err is human, to really screw up.....use a computer.

Yes, it is/may be possible, but in what terms do you want VobBlanker to do? It required experiences and somewhat an advanced user(s) to do that. Sometimes, it may required PgcEdit to help/support as well. So I strongly recommend you read some of "jsoto's guides" at his page.

Hmmm... 194 minutes are pretty long, so you'll need DVD Rebuilder Pro + CCE SP to encode your movie in 2 PASS, once VobBlanker is completed. You can try out DVD Shrink "DA + AEC" or Nero Recode 2 "AA + HQSR" to see how's the quality in results. However, with 194 minutes, your best choice is definitely DVD Rebuilder Pro + CCE SP. Like "XxRUINSxX and rn73" had mentioned, it won't hurt to put on a DVD+R DL disc if you value your backup (or the movie), for a last case scenario.

I've always "blank out" or "cut out" junks, extras, previews/trailers, FBI Warings, directors commentary and my final VIDEO_TS file is much smaller, meaning "less compression" and better Video Quality in results.

For more info on how to cut and blank out unwanted stuffs, etc., please visit here for guides, http://jsoto.posunplugged.com/guides.htm

Good luck!!
