This mode is designed to allow users to split a DVD-9 to 2 DVD-5s automatically by Title and to manually split Titles by chapter if necessary to equalize the size of the two output discs/folders. This mode is perfect for TV Episode discs or other sources that have the material in different titles. This is a 2-screen mode; the first shows how DVDFab has split the Titles (which can be changed by the user), the sizes of the two discs and the usual audio and subpicture selection boxes that are found in the other DVD to DVD modes. DVDFab will compress the files for each output disc independantly if needed. The first illustration shows this screen set up to split the titles for a TV episode disc with two episodes per output disc. Since the Quality is 100%, no chapter splitting of the titles is necessary.

The next illustration shows a regular movie loaded into this mode with all of the main title on Disc 1 but at 88% Quality.

To more evenly distribute the bits between discs by splitting the title by chapters, add a checkmark to the movie title under Disc 2 so that it appears on both discs and press the "Title Start/End Settings" button to access the box shown here:

Highlight the movie title (4 in this example) and use the drop down selectors to set the chapter ranges for Disc 1 and Disc 2 to about 50% of the chapters each. In this example, this produced 100% Quality for both output discs, as shown below.

When all choices and adjustments have been made, click "Next" to continue processing and burn the discs.

The second screen allows the user to retain or remove menus, set the output Volume names and begin the Custom Split processing. Not all settings/options on this page may be active, depending on the original DVD structure and DVDFab settings. For a more complete discussion of this page, see the Customize mode Tutorial page.
