[tRAVALO]

hi ,

I have a DVD9 in the HDD splited in 2 discs ,disc1 and disc2 ,and i want to convert them into one disc DVD5.«

If someone could help me ,i apreciate

Check the VTS folders of each disc. If they use the same names (vts_01), I don't think you can combine them, unless you changed all the names on disc 2, maybe. Otherwise, if disc 2 just starts where disc 1 left off (say vts_9), just use DVDShrink to compress them and IMGburn to burn them to disc.

im thinking joining the disc 2 to disc 1 ,or only the main film..
but i should have to update the *.ifo file

You can join the main film with dvd shrink and then shrink it to one dvd, see https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=284279

Very hard - near impossible - using freeware, especially for someone as inexperienced as yourself. DVDRemake Pro can do it, but it costs money:

[tRAVALO]

You have to compress it. It's too big for SL or DL. Use DVDRB for true re-encoding.

thanks,

Edit : after or before ,run DVDremake?

have no image the movie ,and in DVDRemake on debug option apear only 1 disc i guess

Seems like a simple answer... Buy the original. Problem solved. Then again, in order to join a DVD-9 that is split on your hard drive, you already have the original, right?

After. You have a 12+ GB file now. You have to get it down to less than about 8.5 GB for a dual layer DVD, or less than 4.37 GB for a single layer DVD. If you're planning on fitting the whole thing onto a DVD5, then you may not be too pleased with the results.

i recieve a message telling me that i nedd to encode the DVD first ,could be some problema with CCe decoder

[tRAVALO]

see the picture above ,
*.VTS_02 are the extras ,director's coment ..VTS_03_0 has the menu of the second disc ,and i think i wont be able to play disc 2 ,

It seems to me that what he has is a movie that is split across 2 DVD-9 discs that he wants to combine into one DVD-5 AND have the menu work. My suggestion would be to just shrink the 2 ripped DVDs to burn on 2 DVD-5 discs and be done with it. The process of trying to shrink and combine 2 separate DVD-9 discs is, in my opinion, more trouble than it's worth.

[tRAVALO]

Each disc has 6 Gb .
The quality of the main movie is on 30% ,and the menus are horrible .
you give me an idea ,i dont have subtitles to 1 disc have for 2 ,and 3 ,so i think i will do like you said.

thanks bro.
