Multiple Video Files On One DVD

[nin96932]

Alright, so I what wondering if anybody knew of any programs out there that would allow me to put multiple video files onto a dvd, each as a seperate movies.

I have 13 movie files, all ranging from 50 to 60 minutes or so and each about 350MB. I was wondering if there was a way to burn like 2 or 3 to a disc, each one set up so I could watch them seperately?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi!

1) What is the present format of these 13 movie files?

2) What file formats is your DVD player capable of playing?

3) Do you want to convert the files to actual DVD format, or simply copy them to DVD?

1. I checked and all the files are XVID format

2. I also checked the DVD player and it doesn't play any extra file formats(i.e. DivX, etc)

3. I'd like to be able to convert them to actual DVD format so I can watch them on the DVD player. Basically something that would allow me to copy say maybe, 1 to 3 of the files onto a disc and have the option to be able to choose each of them seperatley.

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .AVI
(XviD-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" v.1.6 SPECIFICALLY (a different program than
"TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)
You can obtain a FULLY functional free 30 day trial version of this commercial program at:

**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress

If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use
"DVDLab")
