#278561 - 30/03/2006 00:05 Anyone know how to Combine Multiple DVDs to one Disc
ShadowMan addict Registered: 09/06/1999 Posts: 558 Loc: Newfoundland, Canada	I've been at this for weeks now but I cannot find anything that works for me the way I want. I have used DVD Shrink, DIKO, DVDStyler and have even ripped, converted to DivX and then converted back using DIKO+DVDStyler but no luck. I actually had a working result today but the audio was out of sync. What I basically want to do is rip (i.e.) 4 Winnie The Pooh movies to my hard drive (this is the easy part). Then I want to use something like DVDStyler (I always get error messages when I go to burn/save the 'DVD' to disc) to make a menu with a picture in the background and four buttons to select the movie to play. Sounds simple and seems simple... but when I try to do this with DVDStyler I keep getting an error almost right away. (**ERROR: [mpeg2enc] Sample rate is greater than permitted in specified Level Error executing of command: jpeg2yuv -n 1 -I t -L 1 -f 29.97 -j 'C:\Documents and Settings\Rene\Desktop\pooh test 2\dvd\menu1-0.mpg_bg.jpg' \| mpeg2enc -f 8 -b 9000 -o 'C:\Documents and Settings\Rene\Desktop\pooh test 2\dvd\menu1-0.mpg_bg.m2v' --video-norm n --frame-rate 4 I am almost at my wit's end now, but I know this should be doable... and if anyone knows how to do it, it's likely someone here! Thanks for any help! Rene _________________________ 12 gig empeg Mark II, SN: 080000101 30 gig RioCar SN: 30103114 My blog

It will import the ripped VOB files directly (it will ask you if you want to demux them), but there you can author a new DVD. It is really simple to use, and you can download a 30 day trial. The online resources are a great way to learn the program. _________________________ -Michael #040103696 on a shelf Mk2a - 90 GB - Red - Illuminated buttons

Shrink everything and make an ISO out of them. then mount the ISO's in Daemon tools and run shrink again. you can pull from multiple disks in Shrink, so I pull title 1 from drive g, title 1 from drive h: and so on. it will then re-shrink them to fit on one DVD. Daemon tools is an awesome piece of work, can emulate both CD and DVD from ISO. Works with all major copy protections, so I often rip my game CD's and just play off the ISO. Much faster, and I don't scratch the disks all up. Oh, and it's free. It seems the new version tries to install When-U-save, but that is easily uninstalled without affecting the functionality of DT.

You don't even need to mount them as shrink will let you load directly from the video_ts folders.... however when I got to a certain point the files started getting bigger when using shrink and there's still no way to put a menu in using shrink. Thanks all the same! Rene _________________________ 12 gig empeg Mark II, SN: 080000101 30 gig RioCar SN: 30103114 My blog

Googling on that error message shows me a page that the DIKO guy fixed that bug in DVDStyler. Maybe use the DVDStyler that's included with DIKO 2.22 or later? More research says that it's because the input image is the wrong resolution. See if you can change it from whatever it is (720x486?) to 720x480. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

I resized my picture, no luck. I used the included images, no luck. I tried running the DIKOized DVDStyler, no good. It's got stuff hacked out of it, like the "open" option. Trying DVDLab now but I don't seem to be having much luck with that right now either. 12 days to go for the due date... time is running short!
