    Hi everyone.

    I just have some questions about burning double sided dvds.

    How do i know that my burner can handle it?

    Is there any good software that can split movie dvds into 2 for burning on double sided dvds?

    I would greatly appriciate any help

    hi: your dvd burner could handle 4.7gb thedoublesided
    dvd on each each side has 4.7gb capacity. but the
    8.5 capacity is on only 1 side: verbatim.

    If you can burn writable discs you'll be fine. A double sided disc is two disc, you just need to turn them over. The problem you might run into is media compatibility with your players ... so make sure it's quality media.

    I'm sure you can use DVD Shrink or any program that has re-authoring tools.

    Very true, but this would be a dual layered disc ... not double sided. And you would need a dual layer burner.

    LOL ... I second that!!

    No need to call dell, my 840G is after market. And I believe [bold]all[/bold] dvd burners can burn 4.7GB discs.

    Not true .. don't need regionfree. When you run it through Shrink you can choose region free.

    Shrink will do it all except burn(by itself). All you really need is DVD Shrink w/ DVD Decrypter (and a pc using the NTFS file system). Use Shrink to rip and compress, then use Decrypter to burn(ISO's).

    Why didn't it work? Is your file system NTFS?

    Also with either ps2 or xbox, I believe you have to have a mod chip.

    You must be using Nero to burn your ISO. Instead of choosing 1.02 or whatever, just choose burn image. Better yet ... Just use DVD Decrytper to burn.

    This is how I do it: Shrink w/ Decrypter
    1) Open Shrink, open disc
    2) Click "backup!"
    3) Change target destination to "ISO Image File", then check the box to Launch DVD Decrypter
    4) Click ok

    GamesXCopy is only for pc games.
