Can you please suggest some software tools for putting multiple titles on one DVD? I end up with a lot of small titles but have no way of combining them onto one DVD (I do a lot of slide show videos from trips). The software I use for my slide shows is Sony Vegas Movie Studio and Sony DVD Architect. The DVD Architect allows for putting multiple titles on one disk but the input format must be MPEG. Maybe I need to convert my small DVD titles into MPEG first? Thanks in advance! Norm
Run DVD Shrink. Click 'Re-author'. Browse to the folder or disk (VIDEO_TS) and drag 'Title 1' from right to left Click 'Re-author' again and browse to the next folder or disk and drag its 'Title 1' from right to left. When complete, click 'Backup' and either save the output to a new folder or ISO and burn the compilation. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_shrink.cfm
attar, Thanks for the info. I do re-author with DVDShrink but never knew you could do it with multiple titles! However, doing this simply puts multiple titles on the disk, it doesn't give you a selection menu - I wasn't real clear about that in my original question. Norm
FAVC will author a disk with a menu for up to 8 titles. It also uses HCEnc, regarded as the best free MPEG2 encoder. It can handle a lot of input formats, too.
Converting from AVI, etc to DVD format, FAVC or DVD Flick will handle multiple titles (and provide a menu item for each title) but neither will re-author existing DVD (VOB) files. In the case of DVD Flick, the VOB files of each title can be converted to mpeg format with VOB2MPG (without loss) then processed;since the files are mpeg2 compliant, DVD Flick will (optionally) copy them - they are not re-encoded, thus saving time.
