Hello.

I've got an early version of the movie "Armageddon" which is on a Dual sided Single Layer disc. That means about 4 GB on both sides and you have to flip the disc half way in the movie.

How can I make a backup of such a disc to DVD5. The easy part would be to just use DVD Decrypter on both sides and just burn it to 2 DVD5 media but I wan't to make a single DVD5 backup.

In other words: You got a DVD-10.
Just to let you know :)

You can do that with DVD Shrink, but you will then lose all the menus.
Load both parts into DVD Shrink, remove the "flip disc" clip so that it'll blend seamlessly into the second part.
And then just let DVD Shrink output a DVD-5 content.
If DVD Shrink can't shrink it that much, shrink it anyway, even though the output is too big, then load it again into DVD Shrink, using Full Disc Mode, and output DVD-5 content, which you can then burn.
