I don't think that any other tool can do it yet, so I'm glad to anonce that: starting with v 2.6 DvdReMake Pro can be used to merge 2 full dvds. :D

Procedure is completely automated, you simply import disks you would like to merge, go to "Tools\Merge DVD..." menu and select projects to be merged. As a result you will get a new project with a start up menu asking what disk you would like to go to. After that selected disk will play as if it is the only one on the DVD.

At any time during playback pushing "title menu" on the remote will take you to this start up menu.

It may be not a prettiest menu you've ever seen :) so feel free to author your own and replace the default one inserted by DvdReMake Pro. Just keep menu button commands.

Hope some people will find this feature usefull. ;)

Yes. DRM can handle menus in VMG. The only limitations is to have same streams in both disks (in VMG). Even then DRM will give a warning but merge (using streams info from first disk VMG). So that people who know their way around DVD can deal with this.

Easiest way to handle disks with different VMGs (say one is PAL and another is NTSC) is to use "Hide all blocks" on VMG of one of the disks before the merger. DRM will do all the needed changes. Of course it can be used only if there is no usefull menu in the VMG of at least one disk (only warnings, etc).
