how do i join 2 or more files together

[boldy]

i have created vobs from my own avi, mpeg files and want to add more than 1 movie to a dvdr how do i do this

That depends on what you use to author your DVDs.
But then, VOBs are output from authoring, so you've obviously already authored?

yes already authored but how do i put 2 or more movies onto a dvdr, i use the burner in dvd author can i simply just click on the browse button and add from that.

[mats.hogberg]

Basically, you go like this:
Create new title in DVD Authoring app. Load audio and video (your source mpg or m2v+MP2/AC3/LPCM audio) for that title.
Repeat until you've added all movies you want.
Create menu to select between titles.
Some authoring apps even take VOB as source for a title - even "full DVD" in some cases (TDA IIRC)
But as before, what exact buttons to press depends on what app you're using.

Morning Mats,
i in general use tmpgenc 3.0 express to create my mpeg 2, then i author with tmpgenc author and burn with that as well, can you direct me please, boss, thank you.

Well, open TDA, click "Source setup". You are presented with track 1. Click "Add video file", select your dvd specs mpg, click OK.
Click "Add new track" left, click "Add video file", select your dvd specs mpg, click OK.
Repeat as long as you have more movies/room on the DVD.
TDA will create a title menu automatically.

yep have tried doing that but it will only add the first vob file which is 27 mins long it won't add any more it kept saying some sort of error, is there any other way what about nero because something happened with the TDA burner it won't recognise any of my burners.

VOBs? You wrote you encoded to mpeg2? Anyhow, you can use "Add DVD" or something to that effect to add a whole DVD as one title (regardless if # of VOBs)

Don't burn with TDA. Output to folder. Make DVD image with imgtools classic. Burn image with DVDDecrypter.
