I'm about where you are. How are you extracting the data, dvdbackup ?
dvdbackup has an option to just extract the main feature. I don't know if
that would actually result in a usable backup (or if it's likely to be
under 4.7gb). I've seen windows software that will allow you to backup
1 commercial DVD to multiple DVD+Rs. Need to read up on the filesystem
spec to see if I can figure out how to split it up manually under linux.

Don't know, I'd guess you could just flip it over.
