How to merge two parts of the DVD into one?

[Artur Rolinski]

Hallo!
How can I merge two parts of the DVD film localized on two separates DVD disks into one part - logically - with one Video_ts and one VTS_01 file (not one dvd with two titles) I don't want to encode entire film again.
Best Regards

It depends.
If you need only to join the films (without menus, not recompress), extract the vobs (one file each one), rename them to VTS_01_1.VOB and VTS_01_2.VOB and load them in DVDLab (Pro). From assets window:

select the yellow folder button and navigate until reach your first vob.

Follow instructions in (join and demultiplex files):

DVD Shrink is one of the easiest ways to join discs, but it will create two titles.


You can try combining the discs with VobEdit.

Hi!

If you can live without a menu and subtitles (and one audio track), the following is a very simple way of accomplishing your mission:

1) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" to combine the two uncompressed, ripped "DVDs" to a new "DVD" on your hard drive. You can obtain a FULLY functional free 30 day trial version of this commercial program at:

2) Then use DVDShrink to compress the "new" combined DVD to less than 4.37Gigs.

3) Then burn the "new" compressed/combined DVD to a DVD-R or DVD+R
