How
to split a DVD-9 to 2 DVD-Rs using DVD Shrink
Sometimes you want to copy a DVD-9
disc but not reduce it's quality by compressing it. In that
case all you can do is split the DVD-9 and create two DVD-5
disc each containing the half movie. Let's see how to do that!
Note: This guide uses the old version of DVD Shrink, using
it with the new one is just the same and you will have no
trouble.
Start DVD Shrink, load the disc and
select the main movie.
Select No Compression.
Select Re-Author. A new window opens.
Drag main movie titleset from the first window
to this new one.
Select No Compression and then click Start / End.
In End Frame you are going to select where you
want it to split.
Here I selected Chapter End at 24 instead of original
47. Then select OK to get the first disc.
It should look like this. Select Backup! to save
the first disc.
Under Target Folder select where you want to save
first disc.
Wait for the encoding to finish. Then you have
the first disc of the 2 disc set.
Take the same steps for the second disc till you
get here. Start frame will be the next chapter after the one
you ended with in step 6. Proceed same as before.
Select another folder for disc 2 of the split movie
Note that I made a folder on my hard drive called dvd and 2
sub folders in it called disk_1 and disk_2 you can call them
whatever you like. I did this to keep down confusion on my part.
The encoding window comes up again. When it is finished encoding
the split set is in each folder you selected and ready to
burn any way you like. I personally use copytodvd by vso or
Nero by Ahead.
