Turn many small video DVDs to one standard size DVD

[bryankendall]

Hello.
I have a video camera - model SONY DCR DVD505. It is a video camera (standard - not high definition) that burns the video images onto the small DVDs. It works great.

QUESTION: I want to put more than one of these small DVDs into a full size DVD. How do I do it? Is there any freeware to do it?


Thanks
A. Jackson

If you want to edit them before re-authoring them to a DVD, you might try VOB2MPG and extract them each to a MPEG file. Then you can edit them as desired, with maybe MPEG StreamClip or Cuttermaran. You could then use GUI for dvdauthor to convert to the DVD format and burn as a DVD disc. All freeware. You could keep them as separate videos or combine them together. If separate, just set up the menu in GUI for dvdauthor so you can select which one to play.

if you aren't looking to edit them you might try dvdshrink in re-author mode. copy each liitle one to a sperate folder on your hard drive and then add them all into one shrink project, save as iso and use imgburn to burn.

TMPGEnc DVD Author works well for this. It isn't free, but it is reasonably priced.
