2 DVDs onto 1 DVD

[jImMy_JaZz]

I have a movie on my hard drive which was originally spread over two dvds. On my pc, it is two seperate files - disc1 and disc2, with no encryption. I have dvd decryptor which I have used to copy dvds in the past. Could anyone tell me please how I get both the disc1 and disc2 files onto one dvd? Thanks in advance.

Are they bigger than a single dvd-r if combined?

Hi - scuse my ignorance again, but i dont 'think' so - one is 695mb, and one is 698mb

USE NERO VEISION. I USE NERO VISION 3 WHICH IS ENCLUDE IN NERO ULTRA 6.0. I SOMETIME USE THIS METHOD TO PUT TWO MOVIES ON ONE DISC AND YOU CAN ADD A MENU IF YOU WANT TO. FOR AN EXAMPLE, I PUT SAW 1 AND SAW 2 ON THE SAME DISC AND IT TURNED OUT FINE.

DVDShrink in Re-author mode....

And yes you can use Nerovision as well... since you will lose menus w/shrink in re-author mode...
There's other ways to re insert menu, but takes some learning/lots more work...

DVDshrink is not going to work, it only works if you have DVD video as a source. Since your source is CD sized I will assume they are avi files, you can check them with Gspot to see their attributes.

Sounds like Convertx2dvd is what you need.

Sounds like Convertx2dvd is what you need.

Or the freeware alternative that is DVD Flick.

Hey ZippyP , I overlooked his second post about file size in Mb, he did mention DVD file source in OP though! but yeah most likely avi... 8)
And DVDflick or ConvertXtoDVD should work...

Christ, you lot are brilliant, genuine thanks for all of your help...i genuinely didnt understand the true extent of my ignorance in this until i came here!!its good to know there are people out there willing to help a - lets face it - dvd-burnin idiot like me! now i just need to work out how the f**kin hell to make the sound play as well as the video when i preview it on the pc (and i hereby renounce my dream to work in IT !!!)

@ jImMy_jaZz
I don't know about me brillant, but I am curious as to how you worked it out...
Best Regards!!!!!
And as ZippyP suggested above, put file in Gspot, see whats needed....

[jImMy_JaZz]

Hmm, this is really getting on my nerves now...ran the Gspot program, but it didnt identify any codecs as missing...the files (both AVI) are playing visually both through media player and my pc's dvd player, but there's no sound at all! havent got a clue what to do - can anyone help please?

A stab in the dark (lacking relevant information):
The AVIs have AC3 audio, and you need the AC3 ACM filter.

Ive used dvdflick, which has left me with an Audio TS and Video TS folders...dvdflick says it has encoded and combined these two. The audio folder is now empty...the video TS folder contains:
Video_TS (IFO FILE)
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_02_1.VOB
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_02_2.VOB
VTS_01_0 (IFO FILE)
VTS_02_0 (IFO FILE)
VTS_02_3.VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_02_0.BUP

As the last question of a very desperate and rapidly becoming insane man, could someone please tell me how to burn this onto a dvd please?

[steveryan]

Drag the VIDEO_TS folder into ImgBurn, set your write speed and hit the burn button. Ignore the AUDIO_TS folder.
