You can't just yank out half the files and burn that. Well, you can but it won't play in anything. Check out some of the guides in my sig. There should be something there about splitting a movie to 2 DVD5s.

oh my bad. ok u cant spilt them up, but u can compress them in shrink. load the files into shrink and click reauthor. then u can see how much compression u r gonna have. take the compression off of auto and try to delete some of the nonsense like subtitles in espanol, and some of the audio files. i usually only keep the 5.1 surround and thats it, i even get rid of the 2 channel, unless makin it for someone that aint got surround sound. let me know how that goes.

simply put, if you want the film to fit on one DVD you need to "bare bone" it, no menus no subs, no frills. etc., otherwise run the risk of splitting it (AS FOREMENT)........plain and simple,,unles you have a dual layer drive and disks.

do you have DTS audio in there? You can get rid of that, it takes up a bunch of space and you can't tell the difference between that and regular 5.1 (AC3 I think it is). And even if you don't have 5.1 surround your 2-channel stereo audio will work with the AC3. If you see audio that says DC or Director's Comment, that's the director's commentary, which most people never use. If you can get it down to 8GB or so, you can compress from there. Or you could use DVD Shrink twice, the first time with Deep Analysis and Quality Enhancements, the second time normally.

Go here: http://www.intervocative.com/Downloads.aspx and download DVD Profiler. I don't think it does games though. I'm actually looking for one that does CDs, so if you find one let me know...

this is a quote from kocher
Quote:
yeah if u put the episodes on ur hd that u want to put on 1 disk, then use Nero to burn. it will let u create chapters in each episode and a menu once uput the dvd in ur dvd player that shows which episode u want to watch. in Nero after u add the files u want there is an option entitled "create menus" (i think, or something very similar) just go in there and you can choose a new menu and chapters for every episode.
OK now I have added the files into Nero, and I have the latest version but I dont see anything about creating a menu.

I just want a simple menu allowing me to select which episode of the season I would like to watch

ok, step by step.
1. open Nero, select make your own dvd video.
2. click add files, find and select your episode->double click it.
3. " "
4. do this to every episode that you have, and Nero will automatically create a menu(u can choose the template later in the process.)

ok if everything is one giant file(not in individual chapters):
1. same as above.
2. click add files, select your season, and double click it.
3. once u see the file u want to burn-click on it once, then at the right of the screen there are a bunch of ooptions.
4. select "create chapters"
5. now you can watch the whole thing, and insert a chapter and title when a new episode starts.
6. after u have created achapter for each hit next, select the type of menu you want and wallah--you are all gravy!!!!

let me know how this works for ya.

i guess your Nero is way diff. than mine. i have a dvd and cd and another tab when i open Nero. i click dvd tab, go to the favorites tab and select make you own dvd video. i then add files(which automatically ccreates a menu, then i create chapters in each file i added. it is a very simple process. post a screen shot of what your Nero screen looks like, please.
