Two sets of VOB to one DVD

[bl2003]

Ok, here's the deal. I am pretty well versed in copying / authoring DVDs. I have two DVDs that have already been ripped and transcoded down to approx. 2.1GB per set of VOB files (these were very small animation DVDs to begin with), with the intent to burn both sets onto a single DVD-R and have a small menu allow the user to switch between them. Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial or application that might do this?

I've done several 2 movies to 1 DVDR with DVD2One (movie only) using this method.

Transcode the first movie to folder1 and the second movie to folder2. In folder2, delete the VIDEO_TS files then rename remaining files to VTS_02_X.XXX. Move all the files to folder1. Now you have a folder with 2 movies but you have to modify the VIDEO_TS.IFO file to recognise the second movie.

1. Open VIDEO_TS.IFO with IFOedit.

2. Select VMG_VTS_ATRT 'Number of Video Title Sets' = 2

3. Select VMG_PTT-SRPT 'Number of Title play Maps' = 2

4. Refresh the page and enter the following for Title_2:
Title playback type = 20
Number of angles = 1
Number of chapters = XX
Title set number (VTS#) = 2
Title set Title-number (VTS_TTN) = 1

5. Select VMG_VTS_ATRT and enter the following:
VTS_2: Number of audio streems in Title (VTSTT_VOBS) = # of audio tracks
VTS_2: Number of sub-picture streams in Title (VTSTT_VOBS) = # of subtitles

6. Select the VMG Overview page and specify the audio tracks, and subtitles if any.

7. Click 'Save' then 'Get VTS sectors'.

The DVD will start with the first title. To select the second title, use the player remote.

Hope this helps.

Excellent, thanks for the tip, just what I was looking for. I figured there was a way to do it with IFOedit, but I only have a little experience with the app. I'm going to try it out right now!

Megahurts -

Thanks for the info, worked perfectly. Next time I'll pay more attention to how many chapters each DVD has and write it down beforehand, though! =)

Now, if I could just create a small menu to allow the user to choose between movies...even a text menu would be good...

i know dvd2one is easy, but if you go the route of dvd2dvdr, and then dvdmaestro, you will have an excellent quality video and a great menu with navigation. dvdmaestro is a professional program, but is easy to learn. all of the required tools are available on the net.
