    Is there anyway to put 2 or 3 movies that were about 1.5 gig apiece onto one dvd r disc not dual layered. Whether they are in iso or video ts. Thanks for your help.

    While yes it is possible...it's not recommended.

    Some simple math to consider. Most commercial DVD's are anywhere between 6 and 8 gigs. By compressing the files we can fit them on a standard blank DVD which holds 4.7 gigs.

    You're wanting to put anywhere between 12 and 16 gigs on a 4.7 Gig blank disc which means one thing in two distinct parts:

    1. Extremely heavy compression.

    2. Exrtremely poor quality.

    I figured out how to do it with dvd shrink. I put One missed call, 21, & Doomsday and it came out excellent. What I want to do is make it to where you can have a title menu to where you can choose which movie you want to watch instead of having to keep clicking next on your remote to get to the next movie. If you can help me with that, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you.

    Only way to do that is to re author DVD.
    One way is to use DVD authoring software to make menu for those movies. If it is already DVD, than Mpeg Video Wizard DVD will work.

    The other way is to use DVDRemake and import a menu with appropriate buttons to do the job, but you will need authoring software to make the fake menu with buttons.

    You can use ConvertXToDVD! Yes.... you won't have to convert the format but it does have an excellent menu making process! Just add your Title sets and you can make any kind of menu you want with background music, wallpaper and buttons to navigate to the movie you want.

    You can use NeroVission to do the same, too!

    DvdReMake (Pro) has a 1-click merge feature, but its menu is very basic. You have to create the menu outside and import it in.

    ConvertXtoDVD has good menu templates but it will reencode VOB files. NeroVision Express has many great menu templates, and it has an option to not re-encode VOB files if they are DVD compliant. Look under Video Options button -> General tab, and check Nero SmartEncoding.

    There's also freewares with menu capability that you may want to take a look: DVD Styler, GFD (Gui For DVDAuthor).
