Dvd Copying Software

find out the size of the file by right clicking on it, and doing properties.

you can fit 800 MB on a disk, so if it's 1400MB, you can use 2 disks etc. (2*800=1600)
work out how many you need,

open the file in your favourite player and note the total playing time.
divide this time by the number of disks you are going to use. (say a 120 min film onto 2 disks = 60 min per disk)

open tmpegenc, and close the wizard, if it appears (press cancel)

Click File

Click Mpeg tools

click merge and cut

click add and then navigate to the mpeg file you created
xxxxxxxx
click Browse (output) and find a good dir, and then type eg "gangs of new york 1"

click the filename and click edit

type in the second box the time of the end of the first section (eg 60 mins)

click run.


repeat the steps below xxxxxxx for file "gangs of new york 2" etc, and by changing the times to 60 mins ~ 120 mins etc for each file you want to create

then youll have a few files, all nicely named

YES&#33;&#33; ok so i can copy dvds to my comp and convert to SVCD with tmpcgenc. the problem is i dont have a dvd burner and its to big to fit on a 700 MB cd. is there a app that cuts movies in as many discs it takes to burn the whole movie to a disk?

NOTE: i tried easyviedo splitetbut and cracked but it kept crashing when i clicked split.

k, then you might be able to ignore what i just said&#33; :)

depends on the software u use..personally, id go to kvcd.net and get acp which will do all the donkey work, audio extracting etc and converting, and will split the movie for you.

or if u use tmpeg you can set the source range under Advanced options such that the filesize is right

or there will prob be a way - what software u use for converintg?

my dvd player cant play kvcd.

i use tmpeg to cenvert..im converting as we speak

ah, k...you could still change the source range such that it would fit (advanced) but i guess the way i posted is just as easy anyhow, hope it works for ya - give us a shout if it don&#39;t :smilie4:

somethings worng once i click edit and try to change the time the cpu usage goes to 100% and then i have to end process - tmpcgenc. the same thing happened to me with easy video splitter - i picked the settings and clicked split then cpu would go to 100%&#33; whats wrong?

hmm, not sure - check the movie is ok in VideoLan or whatever u use - play it a little, fast forward a little and play, check its all there etc and no probs.

then, id try thayt program i put the link to DVTool, which is pretty lightweight (and free) and see what happens.

if all else fails, try switching off pc and then back on again, and dont run any progs when you try to split it

i just got dvtolls but its complicated&#33; do u mind runing me through on how to split the file?

any help?
