laserfan Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Not talking about DVD Video i.e. VIDEO_TS here, but instead very large >4.x High Def transport stream/mpeg2 files, or AVI files where I've made Hi-Def Xvids for example, that exceed the size of a single-layer DVD. I want to split-and-archive them. If I use exclusively Verbatim MCC-004-00 DVD+Rs, which purport to size-out at 4.7Gb, what should I choose if I want to use a program like HJsplit which asks for Mbytes to split to? Wondering how much "overhead" I should allow for to write the directory info or whatever else the UDF mode needs. Yeah I know I could start at 4700 and work backward to see what works, but this would be a lot of error-and-trial and I'm hoping someone here already knows the ideal size. Maybe too if others know of a nicer splitter program than HJSplit please let me know.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Remember the real size is 4.37GB (dividing by 1024 and not 1000) You need about 270 sectors for the file system - so that's under 1 mb.
mmalves Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Set hjsplit to split at 4482 MB and you'll be able to burn it to a DVD+R
