Best Free dvd Ripping Software

DVDShrink can merge ISOs or folders. Just add them using the Open Disc Image or Open option. Years ago when I used to backup to discs, I split my DVD-9 into two DVD-5, then later merged them back into a DVD-9 for recovery. The second disc has a short "Insert disc 1" message that you have to remove manually. IIRC, it appears as a separate IFO and VIDEO_TS.

As with PCGEdit, the menu will work only if the two parts are from the original DVD-9

The link davenet posted for videohelp will work fine.
I have never had a problem with a download from videohelp.
If you do want to download ImgBurn from the ImgBurn website choose one to the mirrors including the #7 which is the web site.

I can not say whether the DVDShrink would have merged this DVD back togather with all menu buttons working as they did with the DVD9 Full Movie rip.I doubt that it would .
I know that the DVDFab Merge function did not do this.
I will give it a try sometime in the next few days with DVDShrink after I do the split with DVDFab.

The installation file you download should be the same on all the mirrors.
So you only need to download one.

@ lingyi,
I did the commercial DVD split with DVDFab.
Then I tried to open the files with DVDShrink.
DVDShrink immediately gave an invalid DVD structure error & would not open the split DVD folder Disc 1.
To me this means that DVDShrink will not merge the Split DVDFab creates.
