1.3GB DVD Help Camcorder

[Mark V]

I have a bunch of 1.3GB DVD's that I want to put on 1 DVD. How do I do this so they all will play in a DVD Player?

Hmmm. Probably rip them to your hard drive (if unprotected, copy over the VIDEO_TS folder from each). Then use Toast to assemble them into three or four titles.

(Be patient; others will chime in soon. )

So how do you go about taking 3 VIDEO_TS folders and making 1 DVD that should only have 1 VIDEO_TS folder?

I think I tried everything on Toast, maybe I didnt.

With Toast use the Media Browser to extract each of the videos from the camcorder's DVD to the Toast Video window with DVD video selected as the format. Set up your menu and burn your DVD.

Popcorn 3 has a feature where you can add multiple VIDEO_TS folders to a project and burn a single DVD from selected titles in the multiple VIDEO_TS folders. It probably is an easier application to use for your purpose.

Yeah I tried that and it said some items are not supported, the last post said dont worry they will.

I guess I will try this suggestion out and actually burn a DVD and see if it works.

You didn't use the Media Browser to extract the MPEGs from the VIDEO_TS folder. If you received that message you dragged the VIDEO_TS folder directly to the Toast Video window. That's the wrong way.

If the VIDEO_TS is still on the DVD then insert the disc, choose DVD with the top button of the Media Browser and add the content that appears in the browser to the Video window. If the VIDEO_TS folder is on the hard drive then place the folder on the Desktop and do the same as above. Do this for each DVD or VIDEO_TS folder.

Toast extracts (writes) the MPEG video to the Roxio Converted Items folder and uses those MPEGs when authoring and burning your new DVD.

I havent tried that yet, hopefully tomorrow I will.

I will post my results.

Thank you all for your help.

Toast with using the Media tab worked, thank you all!
