DVD backup problem

[techno]

hi there.

i have this DVD that is 7 GB's (or a bit more)

i was trying to back it up but cant do that. The DVD is just one big long DVD and no menu.

now, i tried using dvdtoolbox but unfortunatly it doesnt work great.
it seems to have a problem with angled DVD's or something like that.

when it rips (and i told it to split to 2 DVD Discs), and i play it back, it plays it in jerks and then it...it plays it in jerks and then it....it plays it back and then it....back and then it moves....then it moves...

you get the idea - it just plays it back and moves forward if you know what i mean

now, i tried using IFOEdit but when it was changing the values or something on the VOB's after it ripped them (told it to rip to 2 DVD Discs), IFOEdit enountered an error and Windows closed it

so what can i do to backup the whole DVD and split to to 2 Discs using freeware software?

Many thanks

DVD Shrink will do it in reauthor mode and using it's start/end feature.

There are even 'insert disc' screens that can be used, there is also several guides that may help from this site.

What didn't work with Shrink? I have split a film over two discs many times.

As pointed out, you can use the re-author mode and the start/end setting (to cut out opening credits/end credits) to lower size of movie. Also you can use 'Shrink twice (that movie) to get the final size down to ~ 4,464 Mb. 'Shrink to about 6,000Mb size first time and then 'Shrink that movie file on your hdd to final size (~ 4,464Mb). This works well for many, though Deep analysis done each time can take awhile. Also, If it's a high quality video transfer disc, try shrinking first time 7-8% without Deep Analysis and then do Deep Analysis on its files on hdd. If you want a 1 disc back-up.
