Ken,

That is exactly what I do Ken. I actually offered that option in a
subsequent reply, describing how I took DVDs like Goodfellow (Robert DiNiro)
and others which span 2 sides and reauthor them to 2 disks.

I'm old enough to remember the Garrard turntable which had a robotic arm
which would flip vinyl LP albums years ago. What a monstrosity. I'm glad
this is NOT being done for DVDs.
