I want to join two VOB files in DVD Shrink.

How do I do this?

The files were originally .avi
I converted them to VOB in WinAVI
I converted them to ISO in DVDShrink
I want to burn them to a disk together, can I join them in DVD Shrink?

ALSO:

I have DVD Decrypter to burn the files to DVD, which is my aim, getting the two to DVD.

I have DVD Santa, but it doesn't work for these particular files. Other .avi files it works fine and burns them to DVD. But with these ones it crashes just after it begins the process.

Why you don't merge them into one file when convert to DVD with winavi? If you select two files once a time,you can get the option with "merge" function.Then you can get a .vob file,that maybe more easy,right?
By the way,winavi also can burn DVD to disc.

You are expecting a great deal from a free utility! Sorry, Shrink was not made to merge files. You need to use software that was made to do that. There are discussions on this topic you need to look around. I have converted all my double disks to single disks. Realize that you will most likely be burning to a double DVD trying to compress 20 gigs onto a 5 gig DVD is well beyond the compression ability of Shrink. I was able to only get a few 2 disk movies to fit on a single layer DVD. The free software is hard to use vs Shrink but is does create a seamless disk once you figure our how. You will appreciate what is needed to do such a task by the you finally make a disk. As I remember, editVOB or VOBedit was one of the utilities needed to merge the files. The control file needs to know to load the first file in side B after the last file in side A. You can search the forums for that name and you should run across the correct thread. In that thread there is an easier solution where you create a your own menu that will load either side A or B. Neither process is real hard but it is a far cry from 'clicking' on buttons or drag and drop.

If the files are compatible, this method will work:

Thanks guys. :D

Thanks Lisa, I didn't realise that Winavi could merge two files. I'll give that a go.

Mez, the files are small, don't need to shrink them, just using DVDShrink to get them to ISO. heh.

:)Maybe the merge function is a trick,so many people can't find it easy.
