Two VIDEO_TS folders to one DVD?

[peanutismint]

Hi,

I've just downloaded two Canal+ TV Show concerts, one of Bloc Party and one of The Arcade Fire. Together, they come to about 4.6gigs, and I'd love to put them both on the same DVD. Is there any way I can include them both on the one DVD (without major file surgery/reencoding) which will still be playable on a regular DVD player? Or would I need to choose one, put its VIDEO_TS folder on the DVD as normal, and then add the other one in another folder called 'Bloc Party Concert' which I could then play by loading the VIDEO_TS folders but only on a PC?

Any ideas?! Let me know!

VSO DivxToDVD. Select both shows and both will be authored to one VIDEO_TS folder. If you need a menu, TMPG DVD Author.

thanks for the help guys. Before I go ahead and try either method, let me just make sure I explained my situation fully. What I have downloaded are two VIDEO_TS folders, both with different concerts in them, both all in 'VOB' file format ready to be burned straight to DVD without the need for encoding. The concerts aren't AVI files or DivX files or whatever, they're all VOBs/IFOs etc, all the regular DVD files. Are these methods going to be okay with that? Coz I don't want to have to convert these files back to MPEG or AVI or whatever and then reencode. Does any of this make a difference? Thanks again!

Try DVDShrink in reauthor mode. Not only will it bring the 2 DVDs together, it will make'em fit one DVD5 too, since 4.6 GB is too much for a single layer DVD. With TDA, you can create a menu (which DVDShrink wont provide - you'll have to select title with remote) but you'll have to Shrink it after TDA has created your "oversized" DVD.

DVDRemake Pro can take the two existing VIDEO-TS folders, preserve all features, menus and extras and give you a top-level menu to select between the two "main" menus of the individual discs. Then you just shrink it's output to fit.
