Need help at fitting a doublesided disc one one single side.

[tzippy]

okay, i just need a hint from you guys. i have the following problem:
i have a Freind season on dvd. It's on 4 double sided discs, so i have four times 4.7 gigs. i want to put them on dvd±R so that there are as many episodes on a single disc.
Whats the best way to do this? back one dvd up with DVD backup and then use DVD2One to make it a 2222MB disc, the do the same thing with the second side of the disc so that i got 4444MB filled up with 6 episodes?! But then i will have TWO Video_TS folders...
How am i gonna put 2 VIDEO_TS folders on one DVD??
Could anyone be so kind to help me? thanks alot in advance!

I have not used it personally, but DVD2ONE version 1.2 and higher includes a "join" feature to do exactly what you are requesting. It will join the two sides of a DVD flipper disk into one burnable image.

hey yourre great, thanks! im already usinf this version but i was not noticing this feature...

Its rather easy, just open the 1st video ts folder and choose what you want. then in the join window just push + and then highlight it by clicking on it once, open a 2nd video ts selection, choose what you want, you will notice that green check marks appear as to tell you they are accepted. then just keep it set to the standard size and process. it will automatically join them into a video-ts folder where the 1st disk is title set 1 and the 2nd is title set 2.

Only thing i noticed is that when watching them in your player the chapters increase from 0 to say 12 (or however many there were in the 1st disk) and then back to 1 for the 2nd disk. it doesnt affect playback order unless you are in the 2nd disk and say chapter 5 and push back, it doesnt go to 2nd disk chapter 4 but instead 1st disk chapter 4
