Vob to dvd question

[djmalcom]

I have scoured for the answer to this question and have yet to find the correct anser. I have about 15 seperate .vob files that I need to burn to a dvd. I only have the .vob files because I ripped them from 5 seperate dvd's using smartripper.

What are the steps that I need to take these 15 .vob files and make it so they can be burned in a specific order to a dvd. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Take a look to the upper left for 'What is' DVD. That will show you the DVD file structure. If all the VOBs are compatible with each other, you may have to rename them in the order you wish. Such as 'VTS_01_1.VOB', 'VTS_01_2.VOB and so on. Then you could use a program like IFOEdit to restore the rest of the DVD structure. Or you may just be able to drop them into TMPGEnc DVD Author as DVD videos and let it create the structure.

If they differ, which would not be surprising, you may have to convert them back to MPEGs and then author them. This would probably be better if you need to blend the transition between the videos or do any editing. Here's one method: https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=224833

OK I read

Here is where I get confused. Where do you repeat the process for VTS_01_002, VTS_01_003, VTS_01_004. Do you do it at the end or in the middle. I guess that is where most of my confusion is right now.

You can only have 10 VOBs per title. You will need to do a second title within the DVD for the other 5. I'm not sure what the problem is with the renaming. Do it just like your guide showed. Check the 'What is' DVD for the structure and use that arrangement.
