But any help or info would be alsome to have i havnt realy played with meny programs that can do this or know how to edit them myself.

Give PgcEdit a try, you can use it to add the original menus back dvds. Do a search for it. Basically reauhor the dvd with each movie in a seperate vts. Then create a menu to be used as the Title menu for the whole disc. Fire up PgcEdit and import each menu to the specific vts it belongs to, and the created menu to the first play VGM area. For the specific details look at the guides for Pgcedit adding menus back to dvds. And I assume you have a dvd authoring program, a little knowledge about dvd structures, and how to use dummy pgcs to jump between vts sets. After importing the menus, set up all the links and jumps(dummy pgcs)in the VGM menu, that's basically it. Hope that helps you out.

DvdReMake Pro has a "merge DVDs" feature that will put two (at the moment) full DVDs into one preserving menus. Program inserts a start up screen where you can select what disk to play. You can find more info in these guides:
