Splitting movie into 2 disks - Why to preserve menu ? --

[craige4u]

Hello,

I would like to know, why the help files says to "preserve menus" when splitting a long movie into two DVD-5.

I mean, even if i dont preserve the menu, i knw how many chapters i copied in disk 1 and then the rest in disk 2...

So, whats the use?

PS: Can i copy in FForward mode - the main menus?

craige4u,
Are you talking about using CloneDVD? Because I never heard of "FForward mode".

Depending on how some movies are authored, eliminating menus can cause the DVD player to receive no default track information.

... read the whole thread if you like but for sure read posting #4. Even if you don't want to retain all audio and subtitle tracks, read the parts about why keeping the menu is sometimes necessary.
