Best way to handle "flipper" DVDs?

[j6]

Hi,

I have a movie (Dr. Zhivago) that I want to convert with DVD2SVCD. Problem is that the movie is split on 2 sides of the DVD. 1st side is 120 minutes and 2nd side 80 minutes. I want to use 4 CD's but I want the quality to be even on the 4 CD's. If I use 2 CD's for each side then the CD's for the first side would be much worse quality since it's 120 minutes. Any ideas?

Copy all vobs from the movie from both sides and the ifo from the first side to harddisk. Rename the vobs from the second side increasing the number from the vobs of the first side.
(If first side VTS_01_1 - VTS_01_4 and second also, then rename the second to VTS_01_05 - VTS_01-8). After renaming put all in the same directory. Just select ripping in DVD2SVCD but select the first-side-ifo from harddisk. DVD2SVCD will show wrong time but will correct its 'error' while encoding.

Thanks for the reply. I would think that I would at least need to edit the .IFO for this to work. How would DVD2SVCD even know to look at the 2nd side VOBs? Just because they are in the same directory?
