2 DVDs with Chapters, need to place on one DVD

[MickeyMouse]

I have two DVD's that I recorded TV shows on with my Panasonic Home DVD recorder. The programs are 20min long each with multiple chapters. I would like to rip both of these off to my PC and then combine them to one DVD-R to conserve DVD-R's I'm using for this... this way each DVD-R would have two shows on them. btw - I also want to preserve the correct chaper stops I have on them now, otherwords, I don't want some program placing chapters in the wrong spots for me.

Would I use DVD2One and if so, how? or could I use DVDShrink to RIP them and then use something to renumber the VOB files so they all go on at the same time? or because my Panasonic creates it's own custom menus, am I going to use something that will create new menus for me, such as Movie Factory 2?

Thanks

Check out the guides, this topic has been covered before.

Sorry... please point me out to the guides. I see the How To section, but I don't see where combining two DVD's together would fall under.

You'll need an authoring program. I'd recommend TMPGEnc DVD Author. You can use the trial for 30 days, and it's really simple to use. You'll need the program to put both shows on one DVD, and it will preserve the chapter points, too.

Hey thanks... actually THXKid already pointed me to this and I'm giving it a try and seams to be what will do the trick.

THANKS!!!
