Play 4:3 and 16:9 Clips on 1 DVD - VOBEDIT and IFOEDIT

[daveburns]

I have video clips taken from different dvds in the form of vob files. I am have been using vobedit and ifoedit to author it and burn it in dvd. This works perfectly if the video clips have the same aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9).

When I have a set of vob files with 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, I was not able to make a DVD correctly. Derrow's method of joining video clips using VOBEDIT/IFOEDIT seems to only make one titleset. It seems we can have only one aspect ratio specified for a titleset.

My initial thought is to make 2 titlesets and make them 4:3, 16:9 respectively.

Can anyone help me with how to do this with VOBEDIT and/or IFOEDIT?

You should author 2 DVDs with your method, then merge them with DVDShrink in reauthor mode. Just use the browser to add the titles you want. DVDShrink will create one different VTS for each title you add.

If you really want only 2 titlesets, open the first DVD in PgcEdit, then merge the second DVD as titleset 2.
If you use the "File -> Import VTST Titles" function, you will need to change the navigation commands yourself.
An easier method is to use the "Macros -> Import Title's Closing Clip", which will add the necessary menu and commands to let the second titleset play after the first one has finished.
