I am sure this has been asked before but I honestly can't find a guide or previous post that can tell me how to backup a DVD with multiple episodes of a series on it. For example, backing up a Farscape, Season 1 DVD to one DVD-R would require an unacceptable level of compression .. but I can't figure out how to put it on 2 separate DVDs with working menus. Any suggestions or links to guides/posts would be greatly appreciated! -Bill
hey mr. bill lookout for sluggo lol Split your dvd onto two disc with this guide:http://www.dvdshrink.info/splitting-v2-3.php this guide is for an outdated version of shrink but it will work just the same. After that you can use a dvd autoring program like TMPGEnc dvd author or dvd-lab to create you own menus.
Mr_Bill If you would prefer to strip the disk on to 2 dvd-r whilst maintaining the "original" menus I would suggest using either DVDstripper or Vobblanker. Both methods work well, and would fit your need to a tee. I would not advise using shrink for what you are trying to do, its simply not upto the task. Good luck DVDstripper (freeware) you can get it here :- http://dvd.box.sk/index.php?pid=dvdr_soft&prj=info&pol=0&rid=7771 and you can see a guide here :- http://www.dvdstripper.com/ and if you have trouble installing or find you have missing files you can read an faq here :- http://www.dvdrbase.com/showthread.php?s=bc8e3c79145636d8bd2ee6b6e42b4b9d&t=33795 ________________________________ Vobblanker (freeware) you can get it here :- http://www.posunplugged.com/jsoto/ and if you need a guide you can find it here:- http://www.users.totalise.co.uk/~yyyyyy/vob_blanker/vob_blanker.html _X_X_X_X_X_[small]On Initial Viewing My Backup Looked Terrible, But With One Eye Closed It Aint Half Bad!![/small]
Mr_Bill, Welcome to our little Club - Me, I prefer to not have to work so hard. Nero's recode2 for the job you want to do. You can split your project in recode2, re-Author, and the original menus will continue to function - If you already have Nero, fine. If not, here is a 30-day free trial - http://www.nero.com/us/631898239148750.html Cheers, Pete _X_X_X_X_X_[small] The “old man” Pete (ö¿ô) Compaq 8000, Pent 4 CPU 2.84GHz, 1GB RAM, 520GB HD. 4 Drives, JLMS DVD ROM, Nec 4X R/W ND-1300A, HP R/W 200j, AXV CD/DVD-ROM.
