Tovid is great. The problem was in the size of the dvd. The solution that I found was to use vobcopy to put the vobs in the hard disk, then to select which vobs would go to the first dvd, which to the second, by hand, after a preliminary ls -lh to determine sizes, and subsequent mplayer to preview the selection; then tovid from the command line as outlined in http://tovid.sourceforge.net/howto.html Any improvements to this method will be welcome, may be some small "Shrinking Commercial DVD to Home DVD HOWTO" can be written. The basic steps have been outlined above. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
