Ok, I've tried to get help on this at the Doom9 forum as well, but there is a gay rule that you have to be registered for 5 days to post! WTF? Anyway, hopefully there is somebody here that can help me. I'm still fighting with a DVD that is split to Side A & Side B. Both sides of the disc have a menu. I am able to use VOBEdit to join the main movie VOB files from the second set to the first set of files. However, I need to preserve the menu. The menu is also a VOB file on each side of the disc. Is it possible to joing these two VOB files into one menu? I hate double-sided discs w/ the movie split! As you can see by what I'm trying to do, I am not a newbie to working with DVD file structure. Any help is extremely appreciated and if there is a better place to post this, please let me know. Thanks for all suggestions so far, but I'm trying to do a professional job on this thing.

Only a suggestion here. Why don't you just join both sides to one movie and create your own menu based off of both of the menus already provided. You should be able to retain the same menu structure which is currently set up on the disc, then remove what you don't want and add in what you do. This all of course depending on what particular proggy's you are using to edit with.

By the way, the reason Doom9 does this, is so you don't just stop in and ask a question and never return. The forums are set up so that we can all share our knowledge with eachother to get the best results out of what we do as a hobby. Google is a real good source to get answers for one time returns. Hope to see you around!

I can assure that I'm not a 1 time visitor to any forum like this. I have created my own menu system with DVD-Lab, but when I burn Nero complains that it might not be DVD compatible. I burned anyway and it plays in my dvd player fine. When I try to open the files created by DVD-lab in DVDShrink, DVDShrink complains of an invalid menu structure.
????

Any ideas on why this is? Thanks for the suggestion, I had thought of it before, but didn't have any menu authoring software.

I'm with you man. I was only informing of why Doom does it like that.

I had a similar problem. Try going up to the software tab and look for IFOEdit. I forget which particular link it's under. Use the Create IFO's tab to recreate your IFO's. That worked for me before.
