Ripping a double-sided DVD

[homey]

I recently ripped a double-sided DVD (Gettysburg) and was wondering what is the proper way to convert it to SVCD? I've done dozens of rips, but this is my first double.

What I've done so far is rip the VOBs to two directories - Disc 1 and Disc 2. Now that I've got the VOBs, is there any way to merge them?

Thanks,

well, here's wut i did w/ the godfathers (some of which are also on 2 DVDs)

i'm also assuming u use dvd2avi to frameserve.

what you can do is take the vobs of the 2nd DVD and change the name to the vobs following the first DVD. (i.e. if the last vob on the first DVD is vts_01_5.vob, then you can name the first vob on the second DVD as vts_01_6.vob) this way you can string all the vobs from the 2 DVDs together when making your .d2v project file in dvd2avi to frameserve into tmpgenc.

keep in mind there are couple limitations:
1) greatest # of vobs can be linked is 9 (i.e. from vts_01_1.vob to vts_01_9.vob) if you have more vobs, you have to encode them separately. so you need to figure out how to divide up the vobs so that you don't waste an extra CD-R
2) tmpgenc can't handle .wav files beyond a certain point. i'm not exactly sure, but if the .wav file gets too big, tmpgenc won't work with it (i.e. the .wav file created from titanic was too big for tmpgenc to handle, so i had to encode titanic in two separate parts)
