How to split a title ?

by Harald Weis-2 :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

Is there a way to split a title which does not fit on a 4.7GB DVD ?
For example t5 of The Golden Cockerel opera (Rimsky-Korsakov):
Nr: 5, Size: 6528501760, Audio/Subtitle/Chapter: 3/5/24 06:12.83s

Thank you in advance,
Harald Weis

dvdunauthor should be a way to do it, but it is incompatible with the
dvdauthor current version for the moment if I understand correctly

There is also lxdvdrip:

and dvd::rip

The k9copy utility has selections for chapters within titles, although I have
not tried that feature. When I tried to do partial titles with the transcode
utilities I had audio sync errors and gave up.

No, that's what I'm using, but lxdvdrip does not seem to allow splitting
of a single title.

Beg your pardon for my long silence. I was too busy elsewhere.

I've installed k9copy, it does not seem to help me.
Anyway, I prefer by far lxdvdrip.
As to the perl module dvd::rip, even if it could do the job
I'm afraid it's too much work for me.

So, the solution is probably to buy a burner for double-layer DVDs.

I've since used k9copy for the purpose you describe and it does work. What's
the problem?

I would take the program tccat from transcode. You can select each
chapter and save it as a file. The command can be:

  tccat -i $DEVICE -T $TITLENUM,$CHAPTERNUM -d1   >$CHAPTERNUM.vob

And then you give these partial files to dvdauthor ... and make two
DVDs with < 4.7 GB.

Launching the copy operation with k9copy yields the following result
which I've kept on disk (the original DVD is not available for the time
being):

This will not fit on a 4.7GB DVD according to growisofs which is not
surprising.
I remember having told k9copy that the DVD size is 4400MB and having seen
no way to split the title I am interested in.
I also remember that the indication of the DVD size has no effect.

Sorry that this is getting off-topic...

The k9copy main window has a Chapters drop-down control that lists each
chapter with a checkbox. You would check the first half of the chapters in the
first pass, then uncheck those and check the second half of the list in the
second pass.

This would give you two discs.

        Hi;

        lxdvdrip supports ripping dvd9 to two dvd5's. See the
'-hq' option. I've never tried it, but it looks like -hq=1 will
get you the first half, and -hq=2 will get you the second.

Re: How to split a title ?

Another inconvenient but "clean" approach would be to use play_cell from
the vamps package:

Usage: play_cell [-r max-read-retries] [-i] [-g] dvd-dev vts pgc cell

-i: ignore read errors
-g: report cell gaps to Vamps

It extracts an atomic portion from a DVD title. Usually (but not
necessarily) cells correspond to chapters. So knowing the right numbers
for vts pgc and cell gives you a single chapter of a DVD per invocation
of play_cell on stdout.

Just play around like this:

play_cell /dev/dvd 1 1 1 | mplayer [-aid AUDIO] [-sid SUBTITLE] -

Note the final dash to specify stdin.

play_cell's output may be fed into dvdauthor as a single chapter. There
may be more sophisticated alternatives (like e.g. qvamps) but this is
the very very basic one.

Just my 2 cents... Cheers, Ole

No, this was definitely not possible on my system.

Back to keyboard. Pardon me again, everybody, for the long silence
and many thanks for all your replies.

Yes, Paul, that's it.
I've completely overlooked that option. Shame on me.
I still haven't tried it. But I am quite sure it will work.
lxdvdrip is an extraordinary software.

Yesterday, I've copied title #2 of BOLT (Shostakovich) with
''lxdvdrip -t=2 -u=1 -st=vamps'',
which did what I wanted except for a few french subtitles.
Probably it would go over the 4.7GB limit.
There are less than 100MB left free.
(Replacing 'vamps' with 'copy' does not seem compatible with
the '-t' option if I - finally - understand correctly.)

I meant that the solution is not really about dvdauthor, the subject of this
list.

I don't know what to say. I've been using k9copy v1.2.3 to split large DVDs in
this way and it works well.
