a disc holds 4.3 (single-sided)

i've got 2 discs from a movie, part A & B, and they're 5 or 6 MB each

i am not fussy about the final video quality

is there a way to get them onto 1 disc?

i notice that toast does not allow more than one video_TS movie onto one disc (rt?)

i have not had any luck w/this w/imovie or idvd either - - are either of these programs SUPPOSED to do this type of combining?

any other thoughts/suggestions?

thanks

Sure, recompress them down to a lower bitrate, then you can fit both in 4.3GB.

And besides, the problem is in getting Toast to take two separate files and combine them onto one disk or to get some other software that will do this.

ffmpegx is great

to put both on you could either... compress then join, or compress and put in as chapters? (help me out guys)...

i can only get dvd2oneX to select either an audio or video file from just ONE of the 2video_TS movie files

and ffmpegx also apparently will only let me select one of the movie folders, not both

am i missing something?

thanks!
