I'm transferring my floppy discs to D64's using MMC Replay. Unfortunately MMC Replay can only create D64's and not D71's from floppies. So I have to find a way to split one 1571-formatted disc into two 1541 formatted discs before using MMC Replay to transfer them to D64's. Does anyone know if there is a program to automatically do that?
If not, I quess I have to manually copy file after file from the 1571-disc until the first 1541-disc is full and then continue copying to disc two. But then I need a program that is able to copy PRG,DEL,REL and SEQ files. Does anyone know of a good program to do that? None of the discs are copy protected.
With XA-1541 and OpenCBM or with XS-1541 (http://xs1541.t-winkler.net/) you can directly read 1571 diskettes into a D71 file on PC.

As long as nothing is copy protected, the most reliable program I use to copy all file types is FCOPY on the CMD HD utilities disk. It'll be pretty time consuming if you're talking about a lot of disks though. You may be better off getting a setup that you can create D71 files with, like Diddl suggested. Personally, I use an XE1541 cable and Star Commander on an old DOS box. Works great for creating D64s, D71s, and D81s.
Thank you Mr. Wiskow :)
Most of my discs are 1541 formatted, just a few are 1571 formatted so time consuming is ok, since there are just a few discs. And none of them are copy protected.
Is FCOPY a C128 program or for the C64? My setup is a C128D with a 1541 hooked to it. Is FCOPY able to read files from a 1571 formatted disc in the 1571 in the C128D and write them to the 1541?
If so, do you know where I can get my hands on it? :)

I'm going to beat Andrew to the punch this time. :) FCOPY and FCOPY+ are compatible with both the C128 and C64, i.e., run in both modes.

Thanks Robert :)
When I use Pokefinder I get 66 hits. Any idea which version is the highest? And which one that is the best to use?
I didn't see FCOPY+ among the hits, what are the differences between FCOPY and FCOPY+?

The one with the highest version number? ;) Seriously, I'd have to look at my FCOPY disk to see what version it is.

I don't have them in front of me right now, but IIRC, FCOPY+ was a bit more compatible. FWIW, Maurice Randall's WCopy was better than CMD's FCOPY/FCOPY+, because it used JiffyDOS routines in JD machines in order to speed up file-copying greatly.
And WCopy is at Pokefinder, too,

Robert, the Pokefinder hits are not the CMD FCOPY program... Looks like a German program made for the VC-1541. I did some hunting, and you can find FCOPY in this compilation of CMD utility disks:

Heh, a better search is with the words, "CMD FCOPY". That gives
http://ftp.pokefinder.org/index.php?s=cmd+fcopy&m=0&h=100 (http://ftp.pokefinder.org/index.php?s=cmd+fcopy&m=0&h=100)
From there, you can find the CMD Utilities disk which definitely has FCOPY+ and another CMD Utilities disk which has WCopy+ (the improved version of WCopy).

Ah, I had forgotten about that site.

Awesome! :)
Thanks Andrew. And thanks Robert :)
I downloaded that compilation and then used WCOPY+ and it worked like a charm. A great software for copying discs!
