I have a 2 disc mivie that I want to back up. The original movie is 2hr20min. The first disc is about 2/3 of the movie (needs 63% compression), and the last disc has the last 1/3 of movie(no compression needed).
What I would like to do is split the movie so that first half is on one disc and second half on another, both having similar compression ratios(probably around 85%.)
Any advice on the best approach would be alot of help. I have really only been using DVDshrink 3.1 with nero. If I need other programs what would you recomend.

Im not sure exactly what the process is, but i think
get a DVD ripper (i use smart ripper)
This should give you all the VOB files from the DVDs
basically just move the last VOB/s from disc one to disc two.
You may need additional programs to rewrite the ifo files though something like "ifo edit"
Not sure how it all works not tried it myself.

DVDXCopy allows you to split to two discs. I personally would use TMPGEnc DVD Author.

What I really need to know, is how to merge 2 titles into 1 title. I can just reauthor the most of the first disc. Then I can rip to hard drive using DVDshrink the rest of the first disc, and all of the second disc. I then want to be able to join the two into one title, so it can play continuously.**
I will then compress this to fit on a disc with DVDshrink. I really hope that there is a freeware program that would allow to to merge to titles into one.

fom my understanding you want to fit 2 dvd's onto 1 dvdr but u dont want to compress both dvd's differently so u have the same quality continously throught the whole dvd... ok you can do this with DVD Shrink 3.0 beta if u reauthor the dvd to start without the menu... this is also implying that u have 2 dvd drives... i di this for gangs of new york and it worked perfectly.. basically just open 1 dvd with DVD Shrink in ur first drive,press reauthor and drag your files to the new dvd folder thingamabob(im doing this by memory since DVD Shrink is on my oher pc) ... then but the reauthor window aside and open disc two in ur second drive.. do the same thing you did for the first.. set the copression for both set of files to be identically compressed.. then backup...
if you only have 1 drive than you might be able to switch discs on DVD Shrink but i dont know from experience so its worth a try but dont quote me...
if all else fails than do the following
1.rip the files from both discs to your hard drive without any compression .
2.open thefiles to from the first disc using the open files option in DVD Shrink..
3.press the reauthor button and drag the movie files to the new dvd folder .
4. open the files to the second disc
5.drag them to the new dvd folder..
6.set compression accordingly to all the files.. and backup
all the methods i showed were using 3.0 beta.. if that fails or if that was no where near what u were asking for than i am a failure to this world and deserve to die now... GOOD LUCK!
2.open disc 1

Thnaks Ketale,
I primarily needed a good way to merge the vobs from disc 1 to the vobs from disc 2. I used the process with VobEdit, then IfoEdit to creat new ifo files. It worked fine, but the chapters weren't right. The time in the movie where it switched chapters weren't the same as the original. Is there a way to keep the chapters set up the same?
For example disc1 has 24 chapters, and disc2 has 13. Just have one title with 37 chapters, all at the same point in the movie as the original. Disc2 chapter 1 would be backup chapter 25.

Thanks prjctsttc, but wouldn't that create two titles that play in order. Each title would have there own chapters. I want to combine 2 titles into one, which merge there chapters.

I dont get it.
You want to merge chapters, what exactly do you mean?
If you burn a 2nd DVD, you can keep the chapter positions in the same place, but it doesnt matter if its called chapter 1 or 25 does it?
As i think the menu on disc one will not work on the second disc?

NO MENUES, JUST MOVIE
I used DVDshrink to rip the main movie only onto the hard drive for 2 seperate discs. I now have 2 title tracks that I want to merge.
I want to take 2 title tracks and merge them together into one long title, while keeping the chapters start and stop points the same as original.
For example disc1 has 36 chapters and disc2 has 12 chapters. I want one disc with one title track that has 48 chapters (all the same start/stop points as originals). For the new long title, chapter 37 would be the same as disc2 chapter 1.
I am sorry if it sound a little confusing, I wish I knew how to word it better. Thats why I keep using examples.
THANKS EVERYONE!!

ok, I have to admit that I've never done this so all I do is guess and speculate. The guide I mentioned previously (Joining double sided DVDs) has this little instruction at the end:
Quote:
Now you just need to adjust the IFO file. You have got 2 options for that:
1: Let IFOEdit create new IFO files for this title-set and you're done.
2: Let IFOEdit correct the original IFO file with the new VOB-file information.
Since 7 VOB files are to large for a DVD-R, you will go to strip some streams out anyway. In that case the original IFO file gets automaticaly updated by IFOEdit.
If I understood correctly, this might take care of the title adjustment. So I'd suggest you look into IFOEdit.
This guide might be useful to create new IFO files for the existing VOBs

I surely do hope this works.
