ripping for reauthoring. What's the best choice?

[poraluisao]

I'm trying to make a DVD from several DVDs which contain short-films. I have tryed many software products, but all of them just allow me coppying the same film from the source to a new DVD. I would like to gather all of them in one-only-DVD, with a menu for choosing the movie to watch. Is this possible? Can I do it with just one program or do I need to use several for the different steps? Which ones would you recomend me?

I'll appreciate all the suggestions.

Luis.

TMPGEnc DVD Author. However, supports only 2-channel audio and no subtitles.

By using TMPGE DVD AUTHOR you are able to put short films on one dvd disc & create menus and chapters. But first you need to convert them to MPEG's unless those short film clips are small files. You would need a video encoder like TMPGE, CINEMA CRAFT ENCODER OR MAIN CONCEPT are the popular ones to use. All in one programs like ULEAD MOVIE FACTORY & ULEAD DVD WORKSHOP can be used. I use TMPGE DVD AUTHOR to create menus. I would suggest you look to your LEFT<<<<at the GUIDES. There are many steps in the task that you're trying to do.

This can be done with the program I mentioned above. However, you'll have to decrypt the DVDs onto HDD first with DVD Decrypter in File mode.

You don't even have to convert them to MPEGs if they can fit onto one DVD. TDA can analyze the entire DVD structure and let you select a title you want to import.

That's right.
And also as far as only supporting 2 channel audio. I've made authored several DVD's with 6 channel audio. It does support it.
