How to convert a DVD9 to a BD25 with all menu's/screens/episodes in tact?

Tried DVDFab, but it want's you to create a new menu. How do I get an original DVD9 disc with menu's, backgrounds, sound, etc converted to a BD25 disk? Thank you in advance!

Simple answer.

You can not. No authoring program AFAIK can transfer menus to other media.


Also, I fail to see your purpose in doing this. You can create a copy of your original dvd to DVD-9 with ALL features retained.

I have the original dvd9s of the old TV Animated Series Dungeons And Dragon's. The dvd9's do not play well on any dvd or bluray player I have tried. I have even made copies and tried those, same thing. Seems like that's the case for a few dvd9's I have made. I just figured I could convert them to BD25's which play fine in my BluRay player.

That's possibly a case of using poor blank media and/or wrong burn settings - use try Verbatim media and restrict burns to half rated speed ie for 16x media burn at 8x.

Will try that, thanks!

Allow me to also add one other thing.

Use imgburn as your burning tool. With DVD-9 media one can often get the layer break wrong which also contributes to issues.

Also make sure that the DVD-9 media is DVD+R DL. DVD-R DL media won't work.
