SirLancelot Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 I've got a single VIDEO_TS folder with the following contents: VIDEO_TS.BUP VIDEO_TS.IFO VIDEO_TS_VOB VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_0.IFO VTS_01_0.VOB VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_01_2.VOB VTS_01_3.VOB VTS_01_4.VOB VTS_01_5.VOB VTS_01_6.VOB VTS_01_7.VOB VTS_02_0.BUP VTS_02_0.IFO VTS_03_0.BUP VTS_03_0.IFO VTS_03_1.VOB I'm told it is a 2-disc DVD set, but I'm unclear as to how to burn them using IMGBurn. When I load the entire folder into the BUILD function, I get the error "there doesn't appear to be enough disc space", which is obvious, but I assumed IMGBurn would know how to split the files and prompt me to insert a 2nd disc at some point during the burn. Unfortunately, that is not the case. So my question is... How do I know what the split is? What files are for disc 1 and what files are for disc 2? Thanks.
mmalves Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 I would guess they were made for burning onto dual-layer media, which supports up to 8.5GB (7.96GiB) of data, while a common single-layer disc holds 4.7GB (4.38GiB). Please look in the Guides section for directions on how to burn them
LOCOENG Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 You could also try to load the VIDEO_TS folder into a compression tool such as Nero Recode or DVD2One to see if the disc size can be reduced enough to accomodate a single layer disc.
SirLancelot Posted August 30, 2008 Author Posted August 30, 2008 Thank you both for your assistance. It has come to my attention that the contents are in DVD9 format...which is dual-layer. I was not aware of the meaning of that acronym until just now. Learn something new everyday. Off to the store I go for some dual-layer discs! Thanks.
LOCOENG Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 You don't have to spend the extra money on dual layer discs.....99.9% of all movies can be compressed to fit onto a sinlge layer disc with little to no noticable loss of quality.
mmalves Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 If it's important enough to keep the original quality, save yourself some headache and buy Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (Media ID: MKM-001-00) Made in Singapore blanks, as they give best quality burns on most burners
