I want to add two different videos onto the same DVD but the "Add new title" button of the 'Author New DVD' feature remains greyed out even I have input the video(.m2v) and audio(.ac3) files.

Would anyone help me out please?

Hi & welcome to the forum ... it is my understanding that the function you are referring to is not yet implemented.

Simple - author twice !!

Re-name the second title to VTS_02_x.ifo/vob
Delete or move VIDEO_TS.IFO
Open DVDFAB or DVDTOOLBOX and hit "Create Video Manager (Video_ts.ifo)"

done !

Thanks.

I used DVDFab to create the VIDEO_TS.IFO/BUP files. However, the movie stops when the first title ends. How to make it continues to title 2 automatically?

Ah - OK

When using DVDShrink in re-author mode and outputting sveral clips it automatically adds the nvigation commands for continuous play.
You could either run both films throught Shrink to get this or make two small clips, re-author them together and afterwards copy the commands over to your IFOs
Short guide for using Shrink like this:
HERE (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64242#post393210) (open the 0.IFOs and not VIDEO_TS.IFO)
Copying the commands may need a new thread if you get stuck.

Thanks. I have read your guide. However, when I open the second clip then go back to the re-author window, the first clip vanished. Maybe it is because I don't have the VIDEO_TS file made yet.

Anyway, after I created the VIDEO_TS files in DVDFab, I used the DVD Shrink to open it and re-author it. Then the second clip plays automatically after the first one. Thanks.

BTW, do you know if any software (preferrably free) can show the frame no. when playing? Because I want to create chapters in IFO-Edit so I can easily navigate by using the next/previous chapter button on the DVD player.
