I'm trying to backup a DVD-9 to a DVD-R (5). I've read Doom's guides for this but since Apple bought Spruce Technologies it is impossible to get DVD Maestro anywhere and it is the only way I could use 2 audio tracks and 2 selectable subtitles. ReMpeg2's quality is abysmal compared to CCE and to all intents and purposes it's useless.
I know that using DVD2SVCD for this will make a hybrid DVD/XSVCD that may not play in my DVD reader but I had to try. However I'm consistently getting a I/O error after muxing and cutting. Here is the log:

////////////////////
I used the following options:
--No title picture, no change cd picture, use VCDXBuild, include movie info, include XML and use PBC.
--On this test I disabled subtitles.
--On the bbMPEG options I used a movie offset of 1 sec and on the advanced settings I used first SVCD program stream type and in the last test a DVD program stream type. All other advanced settings untouched.
--DVD2AVI all defaults.
--Selected 2 audio tracks with Auto detect Azid gain enabled and track 1 at 224 kb and track 2 at 192 kb. No audio downsample selected.
--Frameserver: unchecked Add Resample Audio, Simple Resize, Resize to DVD (full size) and both Sharpen and TS deselected.
--Bitrate: Max. 9000, Min. 300, MinAv unchecked, Max. Avg. 6000. Movie duration was approx. 132 min and I set the Between 125 to 163 min line to a CD size of 4495 (bitrate: 4503-3353).
--Encoder: since I'm testing only I used CCE 2.5 with CBR, create vaf file, IQ 17, anti noise 3, field order auto and in the advanced settings: linear, zig zag, DVD compliant and progressive, all enabled; intra DC: 10, GOP M=3, M/N=5, SEQ=1; I left unchecked the Restrict auto and Close GOPs.
--Pulldown: default.
I've tried twice with different computers and OS's (W2K and WXP Pro with an NTFS formatted partition to allow +4GB files) one with the SVCD program stream type and the last test with DVD program stream type. Both times the file bbMPEG_Muxed_File00.mpg was created (4,584,699 and 4,585,221 KB size). The file seems to be OK and runs to the last credits in the film, however the I/O prevents the DVD image from being created. I used the recover option and changed to VCDImager with the same result. Do VCDXBuild or VCDImager support such large files?
I'm going to try directly with the .mpg file and Nero, Gear, etc. and see what I can get. In the mean time does anybody has any suggestions? Ideas?
