    I'm trying to add two short videos (30 minutes in length each, so running out of space on the disk is not a problem) to a disk, and then include a menu in the DVD in order to choose which video to watch. I have both videos in ISO format and Video_TS folders (seperately) because I wasn't sure which one I would need. What's a program that I can use to burn the disk the way I want, so that it will play in my stand-alone DVD player? I was told Nero could do this, but then I had a problem with conflicting names within each Video_TS folder, and I was worried that if I had them in the same Video_TS folder (or renamed some files) that I would not be able to distinguish between the two files when setting up a menu. Can someone help me with Nero? Or advise me to a program more suitable to my needs?

    theres nothing to worry about with renaming the files so long as you do it right.in the second video_ts folder,just rename each .vob and change the 01's

    [​IMG]

    to 02's so they would be called

    VTS_02_1.VOB
    VTS_02_2.VOB
    VTS_02_3.VOB
    vTS_02_4.VOB

    of course you may not have as many as 4 vob files.

    Okay, thanks for clearing that up. But what about the VIDEO_TS.BUP and VIDEO_TS.IFO files? I have two sets of those as well. Should I stick a number 2 somewhere in there, or do I only need one set, as in your screenshot?

    the bup files and such just contain chapter information and other things that are not needed for the vobs to function.you can just delete all of the files except for the vobs and put all the vobs into one VIDEO_TS folder and create your dvd with just them.

    or do what Rotary said

    Thanks to the both of you. I took Rotary's advice and it did exactly what I needed. Couldn't have asked for more.
