( If this is the wrong place to post I apologize)

I know how to put 1 vcd movie on a dvd but not sure how to put multiple vcd's (movies) on 1 dvd.
After preparing my sources do I need to merge all vcd's (example 3 vcds 6 files) with TMPG, ending up with 1 large file with 3 movies together? Re-encode audio then split the 3 movies into 3 chapters with SpruceUp. (chapter1=movie1, chapter2=movie2, chapter3=movie3)

So that when I author with SpruceUp I'll have 1 large file(movie) made up of 3 movies but be able to access each movie independently via chapters.

If this would be wrong, please tell me.
If there is a better way, please tell me.
If I should post this somewhere else, please tell me.

I would greatly appreciate any help, guides, or experience related to my question.

(I originally posted this in vcd/svcd authoring forum but got no help)

I don't know what method you use right now, but if you have dvd compliant assets (movie + audio) it would be very simple.

If you use Maestro you can very easily make a project that contains multiple movies. Son no need to merge all files together just import your assets and add them to different movies within your project.

You can make a very simple menu that allows you to choose the movie you want to see.

There must be a maestro guide on doom9 I guess.

Good Luck.
