Split DVD-9 movie into two DVD-5 discs automatically, recommended for below instances:
 
A: Intend to make a perfect and complete copy from DVD-9 movie to DVD-5 disc, nothing to lose and
keep the original video quality.

B: Video quality less than 50% in other copy modes Entire disc, Main movie and Customize, refuse to
compress to avoid bad video quality. ->>>>>

In this copy mode, you will not be allowed to remove any title or chapter, except the audio or subtitle,
 
Please see below for detailed split copy operation:

1. Select Source, Target and "Split disc" copy mode, drag the slide bar you will see Disc #1 and Disc #2
shown in "DVD Content";
 
2. Click "Start" to begin burning Disc #1;

3. After Disc #1 burning finishes, follow the prompt to sequentially insert another disc to burn Disc #2.
 
Note: As the two discs use same playback directions and same menu, the features and menu selection
will be copied to Disc #1 only, the whole main movie title will be split and separately copied to Disc #1
and Disc #2.Thus the features and menu selection just appear on Disc #1, when you playback Disc #2
on standalone DVD player, please fast forward through several chapters first, then continually playback
the rest of the movie from the split chapter.
 
How does Split Disc Copy work?
As you know, most of DVD movies on the market are either single-layered DVD-5 (4.7GB, approximately)
or dual-layered DVD-9 (8.5GB, approximately) format. As a DVD-9 disc possesses nearly double capacity
of a DVD-5 disc, when you select “Split disc” copy mode, CloneDVD will split the movie to two discs
automatically. It will intelligently split at a specific border between two chapters in the movie (Note that a
chapter is not divisible). For example, if your DVD movie has 25 chapters, depending on the structure of
the DVD and the size of the movie, CloneDVD might split the movie at chapter 14: Disc #1 holds chapter
1 to 14, and Disc #2 holds chapter 15 to 25.
