Joining two different DVDs?

[CharlyAR]

I'm trying to process Rose Red, that has two DVD.

I have been able to rip both of them and process the audio. So far so god.

Now I have to encode the video. But I was thinking...

Wich is the best way to do it?
Do I have to process them as separated movies and the join `em together?
Or is there any better way to do it, maybe in the same .avs, something like this: (I know it doesn't work, is just an example)

mpeg2source("C:\ROSE_RED_STEPHEN_KING_D1\rr1.d2v")
last + mpeg2source("C:\ROSE_RED_STEPHEN_KING_D2\rr2.d2v")

Indeed, there is such a way to concatenate two projects. In the German forum, we are currently discussing such a technique because one has a DVD-10 (a so called "flipper", with two parts of the same movie on each side).

But I'm afraid that both audio and video might not have exactly the same length, therefore concatenating them might introduce asynchronous behaviour at this place. So it might indeed be better to encode both parts separately.

The member in the German board would like to create SVCDs and calculated that 3 CDs would be fine, therefore concatenating before transcoding would be the better way in his case. Instead, if you go for creating DivX AVIs, separate transcoding to 2 CDs might be better (depends on the symmetry of both parts, of course).

Using "+" is the same as unalignedsplice, which will keep the audio tracks in sync, if you decompress the audio and use:
first=mpeg2source("C:\ROSE_RED_STEPHEN_KING_D1\rr1.d2v")
second=mpeg2source("C:\ROSE_RED_STEPHEN_KING_D2\rr2.d2v")

first=audiosub(first,wavsource("C:\ROSE_RED_STEPHEN_KING_D1\rr1.wav"))
second=audiosub(second,wavsource("C:\ROSE_RED_STEPHEN_KING_D2\rr2.wav"))

unalignedsplice(first, second)


This should keep the audio tracks in sync after the parts have been joined.
