I thought this would be easy to find but I can’t find out how to split up a 3+ hour mp4 onto multi DVDs. I’ve tried Devede, K3b, and brasero. Maybe I’m overlooking something but the only option to fit the video is a DVD-DL. I can create DVDs under 4.7GB just fine. Also, why can’t I install Devedeng 4.19.0 and only Devede 4.17.0?
I would use ffmpeg, copy and extract segments.
Using copy mode will prevent re-encoding the video data which would add noise.
I would overlap the extractions a little because the video for disk 2 and onward will startup with a blank spot until there is a synchronizing frame.
If the big video file name was big.mp4 and it was 3 hours, 15 minutes and 7 seconds long and you want it in 3 parts:
ffmpeg -i big.mp4 -ss 00:00:00 -to 01:06:00 -c copy part1.mp4
ffmpeg -i big.mp4 -ss 01:05:00 -to 02:11:00 -c copy part2.mp4
ffmpeg -i big.mp4 -ss 02:10:00 -to 03:15:07 -c copy part3.mp4
I do not know the answer to your other questions.
Handbrake works great doing this. You can regulate what time for each file you create. It takes getting use to the ‘lay of the land’, but well worth it.
authoring tools missing and dvd menu even more, on blueray with java menu as non-existent or in tragic shape even on Windows(so Steam is in void as it is not supported such things) and it is not the official state of things to support blueray and dvd encoding is hackers way to do so some mkv in beta for decades does tell this story further in full colors, but if you edit something in YouTube Studio with official music songs from Google(they bought some rights to its Studio for YT purposes it is authoring parts in troubles)
I’ll give those recommendations a try. I tried to use the devede adjust and it seemed to work but what it actually burned onto the DVD was the iso file itself. I can mount it and play the file but of course it won’t work in a DVD player.
When I try to burn the image onto the DVD using brasero directly, it doesn’t recognize the image type. Xfburn seems to be working. I’m curious how the devede adjust disk size affects the resolution and video quality. I have devede creating a new full size image. I use handbrake to split that or would I use handbrake to split the original mp4, then create the isos?
Never mind. I found a toutorial for handbrake.
Happy new years, BTW.
