I have a project that is HD (BD-R). I have completed it and obviously did not pay attention to its final size. It is larger than the 25GB of a BD-R disc. Now that I have put a substantial amount of time into it, I am faced with either spliting it by deleting quite a bit of content, then burning the first part or if possible splinting it and saving the second half into a second project for seperate burn to 2nd disc. Does anyone know if this is possible? edmondb

It is certainly possible.

Just create two separate project files Part1 and Part2.

Split the complete project in the middle, save a project file of the complete project with split.
Remove the last half, save Part1 project file.

Re-open the complete project with split,
Remove the first half, save Part2 Project file.

Then produce video or burn disk of each half.

This works on PD 9 or PD 10 or any other version of PD.
