I have several 1.4GB DVD-R discs that I would like to put in 1 4.7GB DVD-R disc. Not sure where to start. I have a DVD burner, Nero, DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter and blank DVD media at my disposal. Thank you all for your support.
With Shrink: 1) Rip all dvds to harddisk, each under a different folder (e.g. movie1, movie2). 2) Run Shrink again, click 'reauthor', then go highlight the video_ts folders of the various movies, and click to paste the various 'titles' over onto the compilation window. Adjust 'compression settings' if need be, then burn away. Happy dvd authoring!
you can use Ulead dvd movie factory 4.0 to combine multi dvd videos to one dvd including menu. Just import the VIDEO_TS folder (containing ifos, bups, and vobs) of each dvd, and follow the prompts. Under settings, select "do not alter mpeg compliant files". This way, the final combined VIDEO_TS folder is created without any encoding/alteration of the original vob files. If the resultant folder is too large to fit ona dvd5 disc, use dvdshrink or dvdrebuilder to shrink to fit.
