dyna Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hey guys, I'm trying to back up some of my movies. however, the DVDs are about 6gigs each. thats way to big to put on my 4.7 gig blanks DVDs i have here. How should i proceed to split these dvds. I mean i could get rid of the menus and such but if i reauthor it that way, it still is too big. Any suggestions?

DarkRoux Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 If you use DVD Shrink it can adjust the quality and strip out the extra features so the movie will fit on a standard DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Does it fucking matter? Can we all just assume that there some kinda hypothetic license free DVD's for once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 im BACKING UP MY movies. you can backup movies if you have purchased them They may be your DVDs that you bought, but if they are actual movies (by that I mean like stuff from Hollywood and crap like that) you are still braking the law.

dyna Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 its ring of honor.. It's like independent wrestling.. there is no copyright anywhere on the box. so what do u think. Should i convert to .avi then split it into 2 .avi files then convert each back to dvd? what program should i use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painkiller667 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 relax guys, we've all done it at some point and hollywood isn't going to come to his house to scan for illegally copied dvd's that he had made to "back them up in case he loses the originals or if they get damaged" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyna Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 i just noticed that this thread turned into a topic about the ethics of backing up movies and copyright infringement. So does any1 actually have any ideas or am i on my own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I could've sworn I saw someone suggest "DVD Shrink", which is the program you should look into. Allows you to take out the menu, the copyright warning, the trailers for other movies, additional soundtracks, directors commentary, photo gallery and, if it's still too big, recompress the full movie so it precisely fits the DVD.
