joining 4 dvd clips with menu

[mitshubishi]

hi ,could you tell me the best program to join 4 dvd clips together on to one dvd i have tried tmpgenc but one of the dvd files has a different format to the others and tmpgenc will not do it, they are all vobs and i can join them using dvd2one but need a menu on,
thanks.

run em all through tmpgenc again and then tmpgenc dvdauthor as separate tracks

If you want to join them, make them all ONE track in DVD Author. Adding them as seperate tracks will cause the DVD to return to the menu between segments.

Here is 1 solution...i use Nerovision Express 3 to combine as many mpegs or avi's OR VOBS. into 1 track and with menus and chapters...AUDIO CAN BE LPCM OR AC3-2.0.....it will automatically reduce the BITRATE to make everything fit on 1 dvd....BE WARNED..A LOW BITRATE MEANS REALLY GRAINY VIDEO!!GOOD LUCK

I suggest you make the different format track conform with the others (reencode), then author with TDA as parts of the same track.
Use a real encoder like CCE, TMPGEnc, MainConcept - not Nero or other half baked "doitallforyouwithjustoneclick" kind of app.

that"doityourselfwithoneclick" works FLAWLESS and is piece of cake to use...

TRU BUT TO HEAR PEOPLE PEOPLE PUT DOWN A PRODUCT THAT WORKS SO WELL AND IS EASY TO USE..baffles me

[mats.hogberg]

Could it be that for every thing that Nero (claims) to do, there are at least one (often many) other tool, mostly free, that does it better? If a process using 4 apps and 10 clicks gets me a better end product than a process of one app/one click, I'm for the former. But again, each to his/her own!
