Two DVD's to one DVD

[JoMu]

I have two short DVD movies (about 50 mins each) and I want to backup them in one single layer DVD.

What would be the easist way to do this. Tnx

With Menus: TMPGEnc DVD Author

Without Menus: DVDShrink in re-author mode.

If they have menus that you want to keep, DVD Remake Pro

DVD Shrink would be the easiest I think. Simply import both files and then back them up as one complete DVD. Then burn with your favorite program.

NeroVision Express can also be used and made with or without menus.

All suggestions presented are good. If I want to combine a two disc movie (such as Lawrence of Arabia or Schlinder's List) to one DVD-DL, I'll use DVDShrink. I use this mostly because I use DVDShrink all the time and the program is second nature. I have used DVD Remake Pro and it is a good program. It is easy to use and will preserve both disk menus and file structures. When you put the DVD in your player, it comes up with Disc 1 or Disc 2. You make the selection and it takes you to that disc's menu. I use Nero quite a bit, but have never used it for combining DVDs. Nero is a good program, IMO.

Can you use dvd shrink without having to use dvd decrypter? If so how would you go about that?

[solidsnake]

Ok can someone explain to me how I can do this. I have a flipper dvd, and only one dvd writer. Would I have to use dvd decrypter to rip both isos on my harddrive? Ive never used decrypter, what does it do exactly? Can I skip this somehow with dvd shrink somehow?

I just had a look in the guides section, and I think that any of the following guides might be of assistance:
