I'm extremely new to this as I just got a new Sony PC with a burner and have been lurking through the forums to gather intel. Last night I successfully completed my first DVD-RW burn of Office Space. As it is a DVD-5 I felt that it was the best choice to start with. I downloaded an ASPI layer and DVD Decrypter and used the ISO mode to rip and burn the movie. I also successfully installed and used Daemon to create a virtual DVD player to watch the movie from my desktop. Sorry to ramble! I believe I'm ready to try ripping a DVD-9 and burning it to 2 DVD-5s, but I'm unclear as to what other software I need, if any. I have IFOedit, but haven't used it and I also downloaded Nero Burn. It seems to me that if I use Decrypter to rip the disc in any mode other than ISO, then I need a separate program to process the burn when I'm done with IFOedit. Would I be correct to say that I would use DVD Decrypter to rip the movie to my HD, IFOedit to split it to 2 DVDs, then Nero to burn the finished directories to disc? Or is there an easier method? Thanks!
You are right. To put a DVD-9 on 2 DVD-R's, all you need is a ripper (DVDDecrypter or SmartRipper) to rip to HDD, EfoEdit to split the DVD, then need to burn the dvd (Nero is fine). There are guides that walk you through it.
