The following post is the one i made in another site some minutes ago and have not yet got a response. I hope my questions (and i believe not only mine), will be answered here.



"i really hoped that someone would answer this post as i have a similar problem. I tried to copy with platinum "2 fast 2 furious" into two disks as the movie's total size is 7,79 gb. I trid doing it with the aid of J. Chatzimihail's (geia soy patrioti) guide. With all due respect, i think it lacks some explanation in some points. If somenone was able to answer these questions many of us would really be grateful.

1) First of all. Is it necessary for me to have the appropriate free space if i want to copy the disk in 2 disks?(if over 4,38 gigs?) How is the process done? meaning, are the movie's contents written in the hard drive first? for both disks? or just for the first one, then write it in a blank and then the next one? I don't think it's the latter.....

2) As an example i'll use my attempt in the pre-mentioned movie. It is a total of 7,79 gigs. It has 7 titlesets. The biggest one is number 1 with a quantity of 5,37 gigs. I went to splitting. By default it separeted the contents, (i selected all titlesets), with titleset 1, 4, 7, 5, 6 in disk 1 and titlesets 1(again), 3, 2 in disk 2. Disk one supposedly was 4,12 gigs and disk 2 was 3,81 gigs. Question. Why is that when titleset 1 is 5,37 by itself????based on what logic? why is titleset 1 needed in both disks? my guess is that it contains the interface files. Why are the titlesets not in numerical order? why in disk 1 for example, we have 1 4 7 5 6 and not 1 4 5 6 7?

What are we supposed to do with the bottom left section "split titlesets at........"? does the answer of the questions lie there? What is Cel? cel 1, cel 2 etc, mentioned in that "split titlesets at........" box?

3)Anyway I burned successfully disk one. then........that's it. Over. No prompt to put another blank disk to make disk 2, nothing. I tried doing it manually afterwards, chossing only the appropriate titlesets (1, 3, 2) and to copy them as disk 1. Doesn't work, it shows their true gig capacity 7,52 gigs, not the reduced one (that i cannot understand) of 3,81 gigs.



Personally I really believe these questions must be abswered for us to be able to work with dvd x copy platinum.
waiting eagerly for a response."
