• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Splitting VOB files across 2 DVDS

I have a DVD download that comes to over 7gb which obviously won't fit onto a single recordable DVD. I can't use double-layer discs so I need to split the files across 2 regular DVD-Rs. I'm using Toast Titanium 9 by the way. Can anyone assist?
Many thanks!

Hmm, not easy at all, because there's not really any way of knowing if you are splitting a chapter. 2 options as far as I can see.
Create 2 VIDEO_TS folders, each with half of the files in, and burn 2 discs that way, or combine the lot in Toast, and use Popcorn to compress them down into a single 4.4 gb file.

It should be built in, it was on mine.
You should have it as a plug in on the side bar from memory (I'm on Toast 10 now, so can't check).

Can you import the VOBs as one big video in iMovie or FCE? Once it is in, you can choose what to burn.
