1. I have movies recorded in 2 DVD media. I wanted to copy them and put them in one DVD disc only. Is there any software that can do this? The same goes for DVD's that run in both sides (double-layer). How can I copy both sides (layers) and burn them into just one DVD media?
2. How can I copy [or transfer] several personal VCD movies into one DVD and and somehow transform them into one full DVD movie. Each separate movie appearing as one chapter of the whole thing.
Thank you very for whatever information you can provide and it will really be appreciated.
Prolly most of what you want to do can be done using DVD Shrink. Post in that forum for more particulars. I use it to put 2 DVD file sets onto
one DVD but I usually don't mess with menus or anything fancy. So in the DVD Shrink Forum you'd run into people doing more with it.
Yes you can probably just use DVD Shrink to Copy Double Sided DVD"s to a Single DVD-R but not to Put Several VCD movies on to DVD-R...
The best way to Put VCD Files on to DVD is to use "MediaChance DVDLab Pro" which will let you Put Up to 4 Full VCD movies on to a single DVD-R without re-encodeing the Files..
This is because VCD Files are allready DVD Compliant accept for the audio which simply needs to be resampled to 48000hz which DVDLab Pro will do for you..You will also be able to add Chapters and have a Menu were you can select which Movie you would like to watch and have scene selection menu"s so you can choose which Chapters you would like to Skip to Just like on Retail DVD"s....
There are Guides on how to do all of this stuff in the "Guides" section of this site....
@griffin05, There are several progs. that allow combining two or more movies to one single layer disc (4.7). I personally have used CloneDVD 2 (Merge), Intervideo Copy 3 (Dvd Merge), and my favorite DVD2One. They are not free, but easy to learn and do a good job. I do not like the size of the menu that Intervideo gives for the different movies on one disk, but not a major issue. DVD2One has a great join feature (seamless and non-seamless). I used this prog. to back up band of brothers (reducing the 10 episodes from 5 discs down to 3). Worked great! Just some info. that might help.

p.m. me and let me know if I can help!
@rotary, There isn't a menu unless you keep the menus from each disk, then when you select the option...NON_SEAMLESS, there would be the menu for the 1st Disk, and a menu for the second disk. Band of Brothers was seamless, I deleted the commentaries prior at the beginning of the process, so that the seamless would make it seem like a complete movie, the only thing you would see at the beginning of the next 1 hour episode was the title...like WHY WE FIGHT and then the movie. I used this with backing up my The Pelican Brief. Two sided disk (can't imagine why this hasn't been re-released!) so I just put both sides on HD, then used seamless, joining feature in DVD2One and made the video files, then I would burn with Nero, you can also have that prog. set to burn automatically with Copy to Dvd.
ANy other questions just let me know and I'll try to help.
