How do I get 2 movies to play like one

[SaveOldMovies]

I am trying to backup my large collection of Laser Disks before my Laser Disk player bites the dust. I am able to capture the video with my Visiontek Xtacy Everything and author the DVDs with Maestro as long as the movie used only one side of the Laser Disk. However most movies require at least 2 sides to fit on a Laser Disk.

I have tried recording each side as a seperate movie and then use the end action from the last chapter of movie1 to play the first chapter of movie2 and so on. That works ok (better than flipping over a Laser Disk) but I am not really pleased with the result. I fiddled around with playlists and command sequences. It looks like perhaps there might be a solution found using playlists or command sequences but I didn't find it.

I guess the best option would be to just edit the pieces back together into a single movie, but I always have trouble with audio sync when I edit MPEG movies. I must admit all of my MPEG editing experience is with MPEG1 not MPEG2 so if there is a good MPEG2 editing solution I would be very happy to hear about it. This would be the same problem someone would have editing out the commercials from a television broadcast I would think.

Thanks

or drop the two files one after the other on the same timeline in maestro, then for the audio right click->create sync audio track.
