Not sure what you mean.

Do you mean more than one movie on a dvd disc. Try an DVD Authoring software. or use dvd shrink in re--author mode. Though you will notice heavy quality loss if you sqeeze two dvd movies on a single disc.

Too much info missing in this thread.

What kind of downloads? AVI, MPG, WMV, ISO, VOB etc...

What kind of DVD? Data or playable in most DVD players?

Don't.

Converting downloaded dvix avi files to MPEG-2 is a guaranteed way to produce crummy-looking video. Divx avi is incompatible in every possible way with MPEG-2 -- different frame resolution, different encoding method, typically a different soundtrack encoding method, everything's different. Plus, encoding at such low bitrate divx ruins the video so badly you can't recover it. Even after 10 or 12 hours of VDub filtering on a fast P4 3.2 Ghz machine, the output still looks like junk.

Sorry you've had such a bad experience but I've got some pretty nice DVDs I made from XviD/DivX files.

I downloaded a tv series and at the mo it all on seperate discs, I just want to put them onto one disc. They have meen converted from avi files & put onto single dvd discs. I have dvd shrink 3 but havent got a clue what to do, and everytime i try to put them onto a single disc in shrink it seems to loose the first one i put into it & shows the second only.

I assume that you have 12 1GB VOBs/ISO images. The most you are going to fit on one DVD is 4 episodes. If you want to fit all 12 episodes on one disk, you will need to convert them back to XviD and burn a Data Disk that is playable in a DivX/XviD DVD Player.

Here is a list of guides for DVDshrink.

If you use the reauthor mode in DVDShrink and drag the VOB files into the left window "DVD Structure" it should work. You may get poor picture quality with more than 3 or 4 hours of video.

If you start with avi files you can use DIKO to put 4 or 5 hours onto a single DVD.
