Backing up big movies into a single 4.7Gb DVD-R...

[spun10th]

Rip movie with a maximum vob of 4 gb, this will make one 4 gb vob and the remainder in another vob.

open DVD Quick builder demo and check the box next to dvd style 1, then click the add title button. Navigate to the larger VOB you just ripped and click open. Leave default pointer set to first title, and check the box next to letterbox, then click ok.
Back at the main menu, click the button on the left that says create dvd files on hard disk for simulation. Leave all settings and click build. Select the drive with at least 4.5 gb or so and click except. This will make a video_ts directory on the hard drive with a working movie, (it makes a video_ts.ifo and main ifo) that can be burned to a dvd-r and will autoplay in a set-top dvd (no menus) Now move the newly created video_ts foler to another location becuse you need to do the same process with the smaller vob you ripped and dvd quickbiulder defaults to the root of whatever drive letter you choose.

Do the same thing with quickbuilder for the smaller vob and then burn one video_ts folder to one side, and one to the other.

Hope this helps you.

This is exactly what I am tryign to do (see my previous post). Problem is second VOB is corrupted somehow. DVD JR thinks it is a program stream and converts to a VOB that the sound won't play. Quick Builder won't even read the VOB. Have you successfully done this?????

DVD quickbuilder will read vob, m2p and ac3. If you have a corrupted vob, ie no sound, you may be having a unencrypting problem, try changing the the key-check settings in your ripper to every cell-id. If dvd quickbiulder is not recognizing the sound stream in your vob, then you are having a ripping problem.
