Authoring DVD: 2 titleset in one DVD

I have a little question for people more expert then me:

I have 2 titleset (vts_01_x.vob and vts_02_x) decrypted from 2 different DVD: how can I create VIDEO_TS.IFO that contain both title ??

Many Thanks for any help...

What will u be using for the authoring? Spruce up or Maestro will be pretty simple. Just demux your vob so u have an audio and video stream... import into authoring program, create menu with a button for movie one and a button for movie 2 and link it to the proper movie and now compile.... The linking part will vary on the authoring program u choose.

One solution is ifoedit.

U have to split by vobid both sets, renumber the 2nd one to continue the 1st, join again through vobsplit and use ifoedit to create new ifos.

I answered the same question a couple of days ago, u can search for that answer. It is more detailed than this.

Thanks to benf2 and oddyseus for the answer....
I would like authoring the DVD without demux, and leaving the two title separated....
With SpruceUp or Maestro, I must demux....
There are other solutions ??
I have searched in the forum, but I can't find nothing about this.
Thanks

The problem with ifoedit is that it end up creating one titleset. You can specify only an DAR (Display aspect ratio) for a titlset. So, if your two vob files have different aspect ratios (DAR), one of them is going to be looking ugly.

I am also looking for a solution where I don't have to demux the audio/video stream to author in spruceup. Just wanted to create two title set from two set of vob files. Any expert willing to answer??. Thx in advance.

OK,

Lets look at what your asking. You have 2 diferent titlesets, you HAVE to have form of menuing system to choose the one you want to watch when you put the DVD in your player. Now, you didnt specify if you want to play both titlesets consectivily or not. If thats the case, you have to ensure that the VOB IDs arent the same, since you are ripping the vobs from different sources. You would have to run the vob thru DVD2AVI previewer with the 'Statistics' window on to see the VOB ID's, then if 2 vobs are the same you have to change one of them, using ifoedit in join clips mode or a hex editor. OK, now that you have 2 different VOBs with non-matching VOB ID's now you can start on the authoring problem, to watch them in a row, use IFOedit, create new IFO's, then use the "NEXT" button on your remote to advance to the next titleset. A simple graphical menu simply has to be created to be able to choose from multiple titlesets, or hack up a cheasy one from maestro. Make one with 1 Mb vob samples, then use IFOupdate to patch in the real VOB pointers for the real cell lenghts. There is your answer, I am NO expert.
