Rip your DVD using DVD Decrypter. ISO mode- Read. select your external harddrive as the destination for the ISO image instead of your C drive which is the default.

How is you external HD formatted, it sounds like it is formatted to FAT 32.

If it is FAT32, FAT32 has file limitations of 4Gb maximum, and dvd decrypter will then split it into segments.

To overcome this the HD should be formatted to NTFS as there are no limitations to file sizes then.

An ISO should really give you a couple of files, .mds and .iso (I think)
