    All you have to do now is Take the "Video_TS" forder that DivXToDVD created for you and Burn it to DVD in "DVD Video" mode and then you can Play it on your DVD Player.....
    Be Sure to Burn your DVD"s at a slow speed....

    The Freeware program only supports one File at a Time so if you wanted to put more than one File on a DVD with DivXToDVD you would have to Join your Files together First....

    When Putting more than One Movie on a DVD It is better to use a Standalone Encoder and a Proper DVD authoring program so you can make a Menu were you can select which Movie you want to watch and you can add Chapters and Scene selections Like retail DVD"s Have and you can get better quality......

    This is what I do even when Backing up DVD"s because it allows me to usually fit 2 Full Movies on a DVD with Good Quality and I get to make Fancy menu"s and Scene selections and titles ect Like retail DVD"s.....

    Cheers

    these are the programs i use. divxtodvd and copytodvd (same company i think) so yeah i want to convert 2 movies. This time im converting the 2 movies one by a time and my question is how do i burn the 2 movies together. The size is together 4.23 gigabytes so i think thats good enough. and the menu problem comes to effect because wen i used divxtodvd it created a menu by itself so if i converted 2 movies and added em together would the 2 menues colide causing a problem or how do i make just one menu? Yes i want all my chapters and such so im really confused.

    You can Not Burn 2 seperate "Video_TS" folders to a DVD...If you want to Put 2 seperate Movies on a DVD with a Menu were you can select which movie you want to watch and Chapters You will have to use different Software than DivXToDVD(Freeware Version)....

    I put 2 Movies on Most DVD"s sometimes even more if the Movies are Drama"s and don"t have a Lot of Action and what I do is I encode my AVI files(Or VOB files when backing up Multiple DVD"s to a single DVD-R) to DVD Compliant Mpeg-2 files useing a Good Standalone Mpeg encoder(Tmpgenc,MainConcept,CCE SP,Procoder) use the correct Bitrate so that the Movies are the Righ size after encodeing so they all fit on a DVD Properly (I use a Bitrate Calculator called "PowerBit" to calculate the Encodeing Bitrate based on the Length of the Movies)...

    After I have the Files encoded to DVD Compliant Mpeg-2 files I load them into my DVD authoring program (MediaChance DVDLab Pro) which lets me add chapter points and lets me add menu"s and Text and Objects and Links ect to the menu and I can even use small Video clips as Motion menu"s with custom audio tracks....After I have Loaded in my Mpeg-2 files and Created my menu with Buttons and Links going to each Movie It Formats it all into a "Video_TS" folder which it then Burns to DVD for me Or I can use Something like Nero to Burn the Video_TS To DVD.....

    This Method Takes a Little Longer and Is More Complicated than than useing DivXtoDVD or other Basic programs Like that but it creates DVD"s that are much Higher quality and that have Custom Menu"s and Chapters and you can be a lot more creative especially when you learn how to use the Software to it"s Full Potential....

    There is a new Non-Freeware Version of DivXToDVD available that will let you Put more than one File on to DVD with a menu and Chapters and should be easy to use...If you can get ahold of a Working version of that it could also be used but still wouldn"t ptoduce the quality that the other way will because the encodeing is extremely Important especially when Putting 2 movies on a DVD and DivXToDVD"s encoder doesn"t stack up the the others I mentioned.....

    Cheers
