heres a new question for you all
 

ok everyone need some help ive been backup all my dvds latley and have had no problems as ive been using dvdxcopy but when i was doing some of my films i was having to use two dvdrs so i decided to use the full copy instructions from dvd-9 to dvd-5 but i was talking to someone the other day and they said they rencoded there austin powers one two and three to fit onto one dvd-r? something about mpeg and then burning onto a dvdr does anyone know how to do this and could they give me the site as i tried on doom9.org and most of they pages ive looked at dont give me any answers.

www.vcdhelp.com there will be a tutorial.
All that u have to do is re-encode each film to approx. 1.4 gig
and u will have 3 films on a DVD-R. Add a menu system,
3 DVD's on one DVD-R :-)
Hope this helps.............

what reencode program are u guys using because my rempeg2 keeps failing on me at 99% and cutting off the last 10 to 15 minutes of each movie

ok i searched through www.vcdhelp.com for the tutorial but i couldnt find it can anyone help if you come past a tutorial on how to reencode movies to 1.4gb like boxy said can you copy and paste the link to me please cause i cant seem to find it

new question
 

right first of all you will probably find that if u used smartripper you might not have set the maxfilesize to 9000 its default is 4000 which will cause you to lose the end of the film rempeg wont if u got to 99% you have only lost the last frame which is some half a second or less secondly like someoneelse has said reencode the film to about 1.4 gig using rempeg or cinema encraft encoder then use spruce up dvd to author using a chapter system to choose between the films easy really when you know how by the way rempeg is easy to use but you will probably find that unless you set the search mode to full you will get a loss of picture reducing it to 1.4 gig if u use cce you will get a better picture hope this helped

help im following the spruceup guide on dvdddvdr.com and when i go to use rempeg2 everything is fine but when i go to use the bitrate calculator it tells me i click on the file and a get a big grey box and nothing else what going on here? i then also tried cce and i got half way through that until it told me to place the avs text file or the vfapi avi file into cce but everytime i do this i get a message up saying its not big enough or something to do with cce what am i doing wrong here someone help cause this is driving me nuts i tried both methods and none work

ok i got another problem i eventually got the bitrate calculator work and decided to use rempeg2 but when i got to the bit where it says calculate bitrate which one do i change in the options bit in rempeg is it the scale factor or limit max bitrate?
Also i noticed when i ripped austin powers 2 to my harddrive that about 5 minutes of the ending is missing what happened here? i used it the right way i even made the maxfilesize to 9000 like a lot of people said but that part of the movie is still missing can anyone help me? please

i am getting the same type of error lollyruk is getting when using rempeg about 40 left to play in braveheart the video freezes and audio keeps playing and in Full Metal Jacket with about 15 minutes left the same thing happens what am i doing wrong here .....i have set my bitrate to 9000 in smartripper like i read but what else could i be doing wrong?
