It sounds to me like you are going to have to do some reauthoring. You will probably have to design a menu that has links to the two movies.

On the other hand, if you had in mind one continuos movie with no break in between, then you will probably still need to reauthor and set them to play back to back.

I believe currently your disk is loading up and it's reading the IFO from one of the two features. This IFO file would only have information on one of the movies, so it wouldn't lead to continuous play to the next one.

To get it to play continously, you're going to need an IFO file that tells it to do that. Someone let me know if I'm wrong but I don't believe there is a way to do that without reauthoring.

you could also join them in dvd2one,then burn using copytodvd,it would give you 2 titles,and should work with little or no problems,nero sucks,only thing its good for it copying cds.
