    Please Help!!
    When i use Dvd2onex to burn a copy of Matrix revolutions i am having problems when i use the program and put the files in Tost after it encodes before it burns it says it is too large to burn to a dvd like a 100 megs or so. i have tried to change the size of the file and it seams to do no difference i take that number down like 300 megs and it always seems to make it the same size and it does no good. i have also tried to use osex or whatever and split it on 2 dvd's using dvd studio pro i can get the first dvd to work wonderfuly but when i do the same thing i can't get the audio to work. It can't be opened in dvd studio pro. but the first time i do it it works. i don't know what is done. I am using toast 6 if that helps and dvdstudio 1.5 i have just gotten sizzle to see it that will work but i dont know.
    Please tell me any ideas on how dvd2onex really works it would be nice if a company would include a pdf on how to use their damn program. Thanks everone... >;(

    File to big?
    Just use the User Defied botton, and make the file smaller.
    So instead of 4472 Mb change it into 4432 Mb.

    I have the exact same problem. The output box should let you decide the size of the movie you want, but it does not it kept on compressing at the same rate.

    it is just that DVDoneX is supposed to compress it for you so you do not need two dvd.
    it is also disappointing to use 2 dvdr for a few mb over.

    I had the same problem with one or two movies, but it worked like a charm after I'd set the rate to 'constant'.
    Have you tried this?

    good luck

    I replied to your post in the DVD2One forum as well. Didn't see until reading here that you had tried the "user specified" size option.

    I have only encountered this with "Charlies Angels 2" and I just kept lowing the size until it made a file small enough to fit.

    You can try turning the compression ratio to constant as was suggested above but I have heard the quality can suffer on longer movies.

    Also make sure that you are not running the already compressed video back through each time you adjust the size in DVD2one. Make sure you are using the files created by the ripping app.

    Are you saying that DVD2oneX can be used to split a movie to two disks? That's exactly what I need. I don't want to compress the movie any more than it already is and I don't mind putting it on multiple DVD-R.

    How would I do this in DVD2oneX? If that won't work, what other software would?

    Thanks

    Hey I guess that i have finally figgured out the answer to my problem. I am using a G5 1.8 and superdrive. Setting the ratio to constant is the best way i have found never had a single problem since. also i am using dvdbackup i think it is superior to OSEX. I have burned Xmen 2, charlies angles, sex and the city, Tomb Raider 2. It is the best way i have found to do it. THANKS TO ALL YOUR HELP

    To split movies Easy Video Splitter is a good programme.Very easy to use, and can be done manually or automatically. Try it, You will like.

    Use the Join-function twice. It removes the menus, but keeps everything in order.
    First halve chapters on DVD1, the rest on the 2nd.
