I recently went to make a backup copy of a DVD I bought at a Garage
Sale. It was a 'Two Sided' DVD of the remake (2003) of the movie
'Spartacus' and I ran it in DVDShrink to take out the extraneous
stuff. I was going to put both sides on one Single layer DVD. I
processed the first & second sides into separate folders and then
began to combine them both, but was told the resulting file would be
too big for a DVD. Each side was 1hr, 28 minutes after I'd elimited
the extras; I've copied many DVD's that were 3 hours long, but when I
checked the actual VOB files on the original disk, I found there were
a total of 4 1gig & 1 378meg files for each 1hr & 28 minute side.
I've not had that much experience backing up DVD's but I have to admit
I haven't a clue as to why this one is so damn big.
