Step 3 - Analyzing size of movie and deciding on whether to: Split the movie, transcode the movie or use DVD2one.

Overview: Now that we have a movie that is playable with PowerDVD or WinDVD, we will find out if we need to do more work or if we can burn it. Go to the folder where we saved the new files (in my example: C:\Temp\2). Select all of the files and find out the total files size. In my example, all of the files are 5.20 GB in size, too big to burn to a blank DVD.

Now we must choose on what to do (click the selection to view the guide):

Here are the choices:

1. Split the movie with Ifoeditor into two discs and retain the original video quality (Approx time: 15-30 minutes to split the movie into two discs)

or

2. Transcode the video with Rempeg and then remux the new video file back using Ifoeditor (Approx time: 6-10 hours to transcode and remux files)

or

3. Use DVD2One and shrink the movie down to size (same as transcoding with rempeg but faster; however the video can get grainy if the movie is a huge movie (Approx time: 20-25 minutes)
