Put 4 Sopranos episodes from 2 DVD5 to 1 DVD9

[audax]

My copy of The Sopranos S3 D1 is two-sided, with 2 episodes on each side. Is it possible to merge these on to a DVD9 so that I can access both sets of menus? I have DVDFab for Windows and Mac, IMGBurn, DVD-Cloner for Mac and MacTheRipper3.

It would be fairly difficult keeping the existing menus and blending them all together so they would work. Maybe easier to just create a new menu with a authoring program. I'd also assume these are commercial discs and if so, both sides may not fit on a DVD-9 without re-encoding.

But I'm not an expert with all this. One of our members may give you better advice.

You can combine the two disk into one disk by editing the menu commands with PGCedit /menuedit to create a single layer disk. This process can be very involved, imho not really worth the effort.

As redwudz pointed out, if this is a commercial disk the only way to to get this to fit onto a DVD9 is to use DVD shrink or re-encode the video files. With either of these two methods you will be sacrificing a quite a bit of quality.
My preferred method is to encode to episodes to mkv and author to BD5 or BD9 with multiavchd. With this method you don't have to sacrifice quality. And can pretty much put an entire season of an hour long show on to a single DVD9
