Hi all.

I'm pretty handy with the ins and outs of ripping DVDs, but I thought I'd toss this off here before I go wasting a bunch of time.

Here's the situation:

I captured the first two Alien movies with my Eye TV, and like I normally do, made a DVD of each. Now I'd like to get the video OFF of them so I can make a single DVD with both movies on it (these are Eye TV MPEG-1 video DVDs, so they'll fit).

Is this possible without losing resolution or resampling? If not, I can just wait until they come on HBO again.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Scott

what happens when you rip it just like any other DVD?

OSex gets me the VOB, but then, I can just copy those off the disk, anyway. Can I just dump the two VOBs in Toast and let it burn?

I don't see why not. If you're short on media, have Toast make a disk image first and see if DVD player likes it. If not, try extracting the elem streams instead of VOBs

I would look into ffmpegx, it has a join feature that works pretty well without reencoding. Also Try Sizzle.

Hiya. Thanks, but I don't need to join them. I want to be able to put two movies (with menus) on a single DVD.

I picked up some DVDs yesterday, so I'll give it a whack tonight and report back.

Cheers
Scott
