Click with the right mouse button into the title selection dialogue: You can invert your selection for the first DVD media, like in this example, it means that the chapters 10-16 of the main movie and the rest of the titles will be automatically selected. When the copying process has finished, please click on the “Back” button until you reach the window with the title selection. Select now further titles like “Special Features” and start the copying process for the first DVD media. Via the “chapter cutting” function you can split the main movie in two parts while selecting for example the chapters 1-9 for the first DVD media. First of all you have to select “preserve menus” for keeping the overview. Splitting: If you want to copy the whole DVD or you want to copy a movie with extra length, it is advisable to split it over two DVD media.
Remember, you'll have to have something like "AnyDVD" to copy a pressed DVD. If you don't uncheck "Preserve menus" you'll have the menus on both disc's. This way disc two will start immediately when inserted. For disc 2 I uncheck "Preserve Menu's" Elby's instructions don't say to do this for disc 2(Maybe it's implied). Then on disc 2 I put the remainder on the movie. part of the movie and the Special Features on disc 1.
I do deviate from Elby's instructions on how to do this in one step. A couple of other movies that would warrent this procedure are "Lawrence of Arabia" (3'47" long) and "Ben Hur" (3'22" long) + special features. I have found that in most cases a movie compressed to 60% or less is perfectly fine when copied to one disc. I only do this with movies that I really like and are 3+ hours long. But if you split it to two DVD's, each DVD is 100% quality. Compressing it to one DVD will result in a DVD with about 50% or less quality. The special features are approximately another 12mins. I am splitting the movie onto two DVD's with CloneDVD2.
