[patguy19]

im trying to burn a very long movie, that is around 7.6 gigs. *coughavatarcough*. how do i burn this to 2 dvds?

Split it into two discs with dvd shrink, dvdfab, or any other of the million and one programs that can do it. Or you can stop being a cheapskate and buy one Verbatim DVD+R DL blank disc for burning the movie

or just burn it to one DVD-5 disc....

its cheaper

ok fair enough (not familiar wtih SHRINK, but ill look into it). but IS there a way to do it just using IMG (surely there is)?

 

what is a DVD-5?

[Cynthia]

ImgBurn can't cut movie files into pieces.

 

DVD5 = a regular one layer disc = 4.7GB disc

[patguy19]

what i have is a bunch of .VOB files in a VIDEO TS folder. cant i just add JUST enough of those to a BUILD project (add file, add file, add file) until its just under the 4.7gs, burn that and then do the same for the remaining?

 

ok how would i burn it onto just 1 dvd without loosing ANY quality?

Sure you just split the files between two discs but don't except it to actually work!

 

You need an authoring tool and mmalves already mentioned a couple in post number 2.

 

p.s. in real computing terms the discs are 4.37GB, not 4.7GB. Try and fit 4.7GB on (as Windows displays it) and you'll fail miserably.

[Cynthia]

No. Either you put all files on the same disc or non at all. Your example will make the final discs useless (non playable).

 

If you want one disc you need to get a double layer disc

 

If you want to split the stuff, you can use this free program.
