Splitting a DVD onto 2 Discs with 100% quality

Has anyone tried this yet with either a large movie with plenty of extras or an epdiodic DVD

if so, can you tell us how you did it so others can try?

I will do a dummies guide eventually but maybe one of you guys can help the others for now

cheers

I'll try it with TITANIC tonight and see how it goes and report to you my CAPITAN :D
cheers, I'm busy doing a splitting guide just now as the next version should make this process a little easier than it is now so I'm trying to get ahead now :)

splitting also maintains multiangles aswell as chapter points from menus etc just in case you have any complex DVD's

cheers

Bad news MX :(

The process for the split went fine all the way thru. Before burning I tested the 2 VIDEO_TS in PowerDVD and Windvd. The first disc works just fine but the second disc doesn't load at all. It shows only a black screen and stays there forever.

There was no error what so ever during either the ripping, the stripping or the splitting, I can't see what went wrong :confused:

I'll try it again this time by creating the second disc during the first pass and creating the first disc during the second pass (e.g. doing the undo and removing the items from the second disc.)
 
that shouldn't really happen as if it works on 1st DVD I cannot understand how the 2nd DVD is not working. Did you try pressing Menu/Title or playing a title via the rightclick in PowerDVD?. If it's a black screen it sound like it's playing a removed menu for some reason

Anyway try this

open DVDStripper and remove everything to prepare DVD 1 as you would normally but don't process

open another DVDStripper and click NEXT straight away. Remove all the items you don't want from DVD2 but don't click process

now click Process in first DVDStripper to process DVD 1 and when its finished click UNDO

now go to the Destination folder and remove the processed DVD1 files out of the VIDEO_TS folder and put them in another folder. Leave the Destination VIDEO_TS folder intact

now Process DVDStripper2 to strip DVD 2 and then you should have 2 DVD's

I think I found the problem; it's in my brain cells :mad:

When preparing DISC 2 I forgot to keep the 1st and 2nd menu item level. I just kept the 3rd menu level pointing to chapters 15 thru 30.

I'm stripping it at this very moment. I'll see what happens. If it doesn't work i"ll try you suggestion.

Yep that was it, it works fine now :D

I'll redo the whole thing to make sure it work well the first time around.

;)
so it ain't as bad as I thought as you had me puzzled a little there as to why it was happening :)
