Folks,
This weekend, when my 3 year old broke her " Over the hedge" dvd, i realised that i needed to back up my dvds before all my collection fails.
so, after reading some posts here and elsewhere in the web, i downloaded dvd decrypter software and created ISO images of my dvd movies and stored them in my hard disk. So far so good.
I went to xcite and purchased sony 4.7GB DVD-R disks to copy these movies.
However, the ISO copies in my harddisk were excess of 5GB (some as high as 5.7gb) and therefore would not fit into the standard 4.7gb dvds.
Folks need suggestions from you on two counts:
1. can i split my 5.7gb file and store it on 2 dvds and still read them normally from a standard dvd player?
2. Is there a way, wherein i can remove all the movie trailers and extras from the original dvd image and thereby reduce its size to under 4.7gb? Please note that I want my copy to retain the full length movie in its original quality. No compromises there.
Please help.. i am stuck
Regards
