Several videos on one DVD

[oelewapper]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask my question.....

In the past (several years ago) I made a DVD from 3 VIDEO_TS's with a menu where you could chose which one to play. Unfortunately I don't remember how I did it :-(

The Video_ts's are mainly audio only and ripped from DVDA's.

I cannot find a solution where I can add my menu....

Summary :
Menu where you can chose dvd1, 2 or 3 (or more depending on the space)
VIDEO_TS from DVD1
Video_TS from DVD2
Video_TS from DVD3
etc.

I tried several of the new tools like DVDRemake, DVDFabplatinum etc. but none gave a good solution.....

Any suggestion how to do this is welcome !

Use dgmpgdec149 to demux the VOBs (in the VIDEO_TS folders) into their separate video and audio streams.

You also need Avisynth 2.5 (or better).

DVDStyler http://www.dvdstyler.de/ or GUIForDVDAuthor http://download.videohelp.com/gfd/
will reauthor and create menus. :)

Thanks for your help, but this is not exactly what I mean.
I know I can rip the audio and video streams and re-author into a new DVD. But that's not what I want.....

The DVD I made in the past contains the exact Video_TS from each DVDA. (The menu's have even the link to the MLP version still available !).
IOW it's not re-authored .....

I am more searching for a solution that keeps the original menu's, withou having to rebuild each Video_TS from scratch....
(I know my way in Maestro, so making a new DVD would be no problem, but I'm searching for an easier soultion than rebuilding everything from scratch.)

Tried several things over the last few days. I cannot do it without re encoding. Sorry.

Thanks anyway for trying !

It's just the way things are when you get older.....
I should have written it down several years ago !!

What is wrong with using DvdReMake (Pro) for this task?

It will combine 2+ DVDs together preserving their navigation and menus and put a start up menu to choose which one to play. The default menu can be replaced if needed: http://www.dimadsoft.com/dvdremakepro/ht_merge_full.php

I tried DVDRemake, but it doesn't give me a start menu with the titles of the 2 dvd's I tried to import.
It plays the titles when I select them playing the right VOB, but as simple as things are explained on their website, didn't give me the solution I'm searching for. Perhaps I do something wrong, but both discs are of the same format (NTSC with DD5.1 sound)........
I have several of these and in all cases the main menu stays black.........

Will try the other mentioned solution....
