how do you join multiple titles?

[Dr_Sanguinary]

I have a DVD. it has 2 titles. I want to re-rip it so it has 1 title: no menu and I can watch the whole thing straight through.

I have dvdshrink to rip it with. I can do several things with that:

1. create an .iso with 2 titles and nothing else
2. create two .iso's with 1 title each
3. create a folder with video files representing (1) or (2) above

someone said DVD Rebuilder can join titles. I gave it a whiz and did not see that option anywhere. also I don't see the point in using it, when you can use DVD Decrypter, except maybe better quality.

someone said DVD2one can join titles. I didn't see that option there either. using it resulted in a folder with files representing a DVD with the 2nd title and simply omitted the first. not at all what I was after.

You can try use the old dvdshrink to join several titles in the reauthoring part. You don't have to shrink it anything. Click on dvd shrink for some guides.

You said the DVD contains both titles, right? So, after playing the first one it goes back to the menu and you have to click something to play the second? If so, you can change the command at the end of the first title so that it goes to the second title directly. There will be a split second delay but you should be okay with that. PGCEdit is the tool for the job. You can also have it skip over the menu and begin playing the first title right away.

Or follow Baldrick's suggestion.

Check into DVDDecrypter's FILE SPLITTING - NONE options/settings. It might be able to give you one, giant lump of video even with two titles involved.

I would like to use dvdshrink, but I don't see anywhere in the guides how to join titles. I went through the Basic, Intermediate and Advanced guides. is there one that tells how?

[Dr_Sanguinary]

so, where does it show you how to join titles in DVDShrink?

[Baldrick]

Click on reauthor... Then I can't remember any more. I last used it around 2007. .

You can't use DVD Shrink to merge two titles into one - for that you need VobEdit.

You can use DVD Shrink to do it.

I made a short tutorial on how to do it: https://youtu.be/Ly9ABSFefYo

Doesn't that procedure still leave two separate titles on the DVD?

[Baldrick]

You are right. dvd shrink makes 2 titles/tracks.

Maybe easier to reauthor with something like dvdstyler.

Even if it produces two separate titles, when played one after the other there will be only a split second pause going from the first to the second. I think Dr_Sanguinary might have been under the impression the playback might stop after the first and he'd have to then choose to play the second. My guess is that keeping the two titles as long as they play one after the other will be fine with him. After all, he said:

... no menu and I can watch the whole thing straight through.

[MindController]

Exactly. The DVD will still have 2 titles, but they'll play through over and over again without stopping. So problem solved.
