    Hi. I'm new at this. I have been reading the threads on learning how to combine chapters from 2 different DVD's onto 1 DVD. I thought I had it but ended up with 2 different DVD.img files. What I did so far was:
    - Used DVD Decrypter to get the iso files off of the two DVD's.
    _ Used AGK to convert the files to avi files.
    _ Used AVI2DVD to convert the files to DVD.img files. This is where things went wrong. In the guide I was following, everything was very easy to follow, BUT when I tried to choose 2 AVI files at the same time, it wouldn't let me, thus, my finished project is split up into 2 DVD's. This is fine for now, but I was hoping that someone could guide me a little further and maybe tell me what I am missing?

    Thanks very much!!!

    Instead of converting from DVD => AVI => DVD, use DVD Shrink to compress the two .iso files into one, then burn the result.

    Run DVD Shrink.
    'File' => 'Open disc image' - locate the first .iso and load it.
    'Re-author' => drag 'Title 1' from right to left window.
    'File' => 'Open disc image' - locate the second .iso and load it.
    'Re-author' => drag 'Title 1' from right to left window.
    Now you have two 'Titles' in the left window.

    Click 'Backup'.
    Select a backup target (a new combined iso or a folder on the hard drive;if Nero is installed you can optionally burn the output to disk) - if you need a good (the best) burning program, download 'Imgburn'.
