2 DVD to 1 ?

[Xas]

Hi everybody.

I was just looking for a guide which explains a way to create one DVD from two others.
Ok it seems a strange idea (2 DVD-9 on 1 DVD-5) but I want to try some experiments for series DVD (like Twilight Zone) and test quality encoding results...

Someone know ?

I havent worked with Twilight zone, But I have with sopranos and family guy. And they are both on a dual layer disc. And the entire dual layer disc is all episodes. I could get the dual DVD9 disc compressed to fit onto a DVD5 disc (with about a 35% loss), And they didnt turn out that great. But you want to fit 2 DVD9's onto one DVD5. It could be done, but I wouldn't want to whatch something that compressed.

I used DVD shrink 2.3 and 3.0 beta

I know that it will be near a shit quality, but (for twilight zone) Warner made a bigger shit with their collection. Half of them are subtitled (I love original version subtitled), some of episodes seems to be cut, they are any bonus...

As I'm waiting (maybe one day) for a real collector pack (ok more than 30 vol at 25$.... They kidding...) that I will buy, now I just want to have it, see it....

So how can I do ?

use DVD shrink 3.0, and open it twice with both dvd's, than drag the content from one dvd to the other, so you have both contenet on one DVDshrink screen, Than compress like crazy.

Oh, was it that easy :p

I wanted to make copies of a few of my two-disc movies to use out at my cottage where I don't have the equipment to enjoy perfect image quality and dts-sound. But I assumed it was so complicated that I never even tried to find out how.

Thanks very much for the advice :)
