2 movies 1 dvdr with original menus and extras

[Dvd@Best]

mhhh...i hv seareched the fourm and only found that no one ever tried to make a 2 in 1 dvd-r with original menus.Means 2 movies on 1 dvd-r with original menus+extras.But i want to do this.

leeme explain u how should it would look like.
My main menu will be the selection of movie.Which i will create in photoshop , I am a good desinger..hehe.
when the user select the movie then the all menus of the repective movie should behave just like original ones.I do also want all extra included and subs and all things.Just like original dvd.

as far as size of video is concern i already made my video size reduce that much whcih can fit on one dvd-r with extras and subs and all.
I want to know how i can prefectly do this task.

i hv ripped dvd with DVD Dec > DVD2AVI (main movie) > vfapi > CCE > Meastro.

and coz of size of dvd-r i choose small movies first so i can do this thing easily.
i hv read the doom9 guide several times DVD-9 to DVD-5 "full copy" instructions, but can't really figure how i can do this with two movies as well.

all the time i used to make 2 in 1 movies dvdr with my own created menus.But this time i want to include the original menus and extras.I can also use scenarist if i will need to fix this thing.

I know this is purely a new thing and never been discussed.
I hope you guys will help to solve this problem.

I am not english man so please pardon my bad english.Anyone have any hesitation to understand my problem please let me i will explain it 100 times if needed.

Thanks in advance

Your intensions r good but believe me what u r going to face r very time consuming things.

I have reauthored more than 20 movies from scratch complete with extras original menus etc before ifoedit's arrival and I can tell u that it is a tiresome bitch. Imagine Terminator 1 2nd disc with the full script in, more than 300 pages to author and link.

Besides that there r space issues to solve. U have to compromise quality in order to squeeze 13+ gbs in a 4.3 space. My exprerience with CCE tells me that u can go as low as 50% of the original space and have an superb audio. Your approach demands 30% at its best.

Dont get me wrong. I would have tried it once for the exprerience's shake, but once would suffice.

Best of luck from me!


ps. if u run into trouble and work on Maestro, i'll be glad to help.

It was good to see a reply.
you u are really a DVD genuis that u reauthored the DVD before that awesome proogy
Anyways...as far i know today some of our expert guys has made some programs that can make ur life easier.Like ifoupdate.It works like magic.So we don't need to reauthored 10 pages one by one.just a two three clicks and u are done.
And as i said size is no problem with me.If it will not get fit on DVD-r i will write on DLT tape.My only intnesion is to get this thing work thats it.
As we already saw the guide for full copy of DVD 9 > DVD 5 with extras.But it is fo one movie only
And i guess 2 movie with extras and menus are are also possible.I know not much guys are intrested in that matter deeply, coz size and hard work and time involve in that.

I am trying myself my best.But without the help of expert i can't do anything.
So again i am requesting u all guys to help me out .
Thanks again

if space is of no issue to u then there is nothing stopping u.

U can reauthor the 2 dvds one by one and add a main screen that will redirect u to the Main menu of each movie.

Even better with some tweaking of the video_ts.vob and ifo with ifoedit u might dont have to reauthor a thing.

Never tried that but I am sure it can be done. Derrow might be a great help in this.

But if u write the files to a dlt tape then I suppose ur out of the scope of fitting 2 full movies in a dvdr, aren't u?

Ok...thx for reply again.Yes i hv to reauthor it coz i don't know the way to do it with ifoedit.If Derrow u see this thread plz help me out.

Btw, how can i captured the original menus and there sub images to use it with Meastro


Thanks
