I want to convert to 3* dvd5 (with wasted space I know) a dvd9 dvd with 3 episodes on it - keeping the full menu but on each disc either the other episode buttons doing nothing or saying insert disc x - I do not want to recode, so keeping the original quality.

I would not mind splitting this dvd9 3 episode vob set currently on HD to 2 * dvd5 with the middle episode (no:2) being half on 1 and half on disc 2 i.e Disk 1 has full menu with full episode 1 and half of episode 2, with disk 2 having full menu with the 2nd half of episode 2 and all of episode 3. There are currently no extra's on this first disc.

I have tried various programmes but none seem to work as required. I can get DVDFabGold to work giving 3 seperate dvd5 uncompressed copies but no menu - if I let it do a dvd9 to 2*dvd5 with menu, strangely it places ep1 and the first half of ep3 on disk 1 (!!!!!), and ep2 complete with the 2nd half of ep3 on disk2 - madness.

vobblanker - what can I say, cannot understand it - dvdrebuilder let me blank out sections, produced a vob set roughly 2.x GB's in size, but when played showed a black screen for several seconds and then stopped.

Can anyone say what I can use that works as required?

Thanks.
