I would greatly appreciate some quick help to the following dilemma. I don't want anyone to go out of their way and post any more info than is necessary to solve this problem. Thanks for the anticipated reply.
Here's the deal: I have ANYDVD. I insert one of my favorite TV series into the disc tray and the only other program DVD program that I have (which is Toshiba Disc Creator - the equivalent of Roxio's product) splits the contents into the AUDIO and VIDEO folders.
Toshiba Disc Creator tells me, "Files or folders on the DVD disc cannot be written directly. If you want to write them to another disc, please copy them to the HDD first."
So, for each series, I copy the contents of the VIDEO_TS to folders on my desktop. Now What?
2 of the 3 folders that I have (one for each series) has 20 items and the other one has 59 items in it. Each folder represents the contents of one entire disc.
Obviously this entire folder is not going to fit onto one copy disc. How do I know what files are necessary to go onto each new disc? The copy discs are only 120 minutes long. Will the disc creator tell me to break the project up into several discs? Doubt that. What do I do at this point?

Do I need CloneDVD or can I get by with what I have?
