If you read my email, you'll see that I know about dvdbackup and all that. Basically I do *not* want to shrink my DVD to fit a regular DVD-R. Instead I want a tool that let me split the original DVD, with the original quality, sound streams, substitles, etc, to two DVD-R and create a valid DVD Video structure. I don't need the menu and extras, just the main feature film. Is there such tool ? Thanks RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept. Physics and Astronomy University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN
