I have a Sony camcorder that creates DVDs, but I am looking for the best way to combine multiple mini-DVDs and burn them to a single DVD. I am most concerned with the copied DVDs quality and the speed of getting it done. Editing and making smooth transitions and such are not real important to me right now. I have a DVD-ROM and 8x DVD Burner (+ or - works) on a P4 machine with 1gb RAM and plenty of hard drive space. The burner came with Roxio's software. Any advice?
You should be able to make a compilation using DVD Shrink . http://www.dvdshrink.info/compilation.php As long as you don't try to compile more than what a DVD disc will normally hold there will not be any compression and the quality will stay the same and it should go quite fast. Even if you make a larger compilation that does need compression the quality should stay fairly good, though it will take more time. You can even do some simple editing. http://www.dvdshrink.info/reauthor_intermediate.php
