I have been searching and it seems like you can't do this, but I'm not sure. I would rather not sacrafice picture quality by lowering the bitrate. Why couldn't you just cut the movie in half using a program like adobe then make 2 DVD's? Or can you do this?

Also, you can backup DVD's with your backups by doing a disc-disc burn correct?

theres a tutorial at http://www.doom9.org/ for 2 dvd films
yes you can do a disc 2 disc backup aslong as the movie has decrypted first

Yes, but why would you want to do that? The whole point is to get it on one dvd.

Well w/ the new 9.4gb double-sided media, it would be one-disc.

The reason I would want to do it is because I don't want to sacrafice picture quality by lowering the bitrate. How much are the new 9.4gb discs?

Unless there is a player than can play both sides of a disc without having to flip it, there would be no real advantage... I think what PsuBiologist was talking about is not having to stop and start a movie halfway through.

Try this (http://www.geocities.com/codesss/dvd.htm)

Follow it step by step, and you should be OK. I've had it work with three dvd's now (all three split over two dvdr's without changing sizes).

Thanks for the link
