You could try renaming the DVDs (?) so the VOB numbers are sequential.

try the mkvtoolnix tutorial - https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/mkvmerge.html

They are named Fellowship of the Ring Disc 1 and Fellowship of the ring disk 2.

Open My Computer and look at your DVD drive normally Drive D and see what the name for the disk 1 is and then try disk 2. The published name is not necessarily the "disk" name

Rip the 2 DVDs to 2 mkv with makemkv (without recoding), g.e. fellowship1.mkv and fellowship2.mkv and join this two files with clever Ffmpeg-GUI.
No recode, no quality loss.

Thank you, I will give that a try. Is it a free or paid program?

All free

I downloaded the program but it asks me to download more programs before I can use it. Am I doing something wrong?

No, all fine, follow the indications.

How do I install the program? It closed and I cannot find it installed on my system.

If you mean clever FFmpeg-GUI, there is nothing to install. It's a portable application. Just start it.
