monty Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 What exactly do you want to split? Normally you'd rip the DVD to your hard disk first, and then work on the VOB files, which are actually plain jane mpeg2 files with a different extension. If you just want to split into the different chapters (like you would want to do with a music DVD, so you end up with 1 videofile per song) use smartripper. It gives you the option of ripping a seperate file for each chapter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 There are more questions than answers.... In what way are the ones you've used 'no good'? Exactly how do you need to 'split' the data? I agree with SmartRipper, or if you want to crush down onto a single recordable DVD try DVD2ONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briley Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 To edit - split, combine or what a video after it is on the hard drive I do like VideoReDo. It is faster, neater and easier to use than most - mainly as it doesn't have all the bells and whistles and does not re- encode every time. It is not free but has a 30 day trial if you only want to do a few jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldcrush Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hiya all, I have the AVI files etc on my computer. However it will not let me put the full movie onto a 4.7gb disc? I would like to get it on one disc, however Nero just states not enough capacity? Any ideas welcomed. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resonant Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Have you tried DVD Shrink? Works for me (most times anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldcrush Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Have you tried DVD Shrink?Works for me (most times anyway). DVD shrink and the other will not recognise the file, its states it is a video clip. When I try and split ir shrink etc the software programs do not seem to recognise the file. I use easy splitter as well but htta only splits and leaves 50% of the movie in the destination folder??!!!?? Pain in the ass now! Thanks all any suggestions welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldcrush Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hiya all I would just like to clarify the file (Movie) is 701mb and Nero states it is to large to go on a 4.7GB disc? Why would it do that? Thanks All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 An avi file is probably in one of the advanced formats, like divx or dvix. Burning a DVD will require Nero to re-encode this file into mpeg2, resulting in a much bigger file! For DVD (mpeg2) you need roughly between 40 and 70 Mb per minute of video, while AVI will require only between 3 and 10 Mb/minute! I don't use Nero, but try to find if you can find a setting where you can adjust the bitrate, then bring it gradually down until the movie will fit on one dvd. It will lose a bit in quality though... Alternatively, split the avi in 2 pieces and then burn to two dvd's You can use this piece of software to split avi files...

Thanks Monty If you want to solve most of your problems the "ACONRTC, AN-801 ODW, DVD-RW+R Recorder" is the way to go. You can record two to three movies on a 4.7/1x4 or several songs. The unit is available from "best" outlets or I am sure other shops. Sure unties a lot of computer time..Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Monty ive got the same problem you do i have nero and i use 4.7gb disks i do have 1 worry though awhile ago i split an avi file in 2 parts then got it into 2 disks however the quality was just horrible it was pixelated and everything is there a way to prevent this? i really dont want that to happen for my next dvd im burning so could you post how yours turned out? *coughfmamoviecough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkangorito Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) If the file is too big, then it's too big. I had this problem when ripping DVD's & soon realised that one certain way to overcome it was to buy a dual layer DVD burner. EDIT: Dual layer DVD's are about 9 Gigabyte.
