Alright so I've learned that I need to use VPC and Ifoedit in order to split a dvd over 4.7 GB. My question is...how do I go about doing this? I tried using Ifoedit and it split the dvd alright. I can watch the first half of the movie by opening up the first dvd on my mac. But once I burn it onto a DVD-r disc it won't recognize on my computer or on my dvd player anymore. I've been successful before with DVDs under 4.7GB. It's just the ones over 4.7 GB that give me trouble. I make a backup copy of the disc using DVDBackup and then use Ifoedit following the guides I've found. I'm slightly confused about which files need to be added back onto both discs after I split them, but I think I figured it out because I can play the disc just fine using the Apple DVD Player.
The only thing I've noticed is that when I first start up either the first or second half of a split dvd there's a sequence with the production company logo. I get the sound for it but no video...the screen just stays black. Once that part ends it just goes right into the main menu of the DVD and then works fine. Both halfs have no other noticeable problems.
I've seen other tutorials explaining a process of extracting the disc using OSex and then going on to use DVD Studio Pro and Photoshop, but it seems easy to do it this way and perhaps I'm just doing a minor thing wrong with Ifoedit. Any help would be much appreciated. I've already made four DVD-r coasters. I'd really like to be able to just make a 1-1 copy of the DVD. Thanks.
