I've got a DVD (Sleepers - great movie!) that's split into two halves, one on each side. How do I merge the two together without re-encoding? Two titles, one playing immediately after the other, one for each side, is fine, if necessary. If this can be done with freeware, that would be preferrable. It's going in my DVD jukebox, and I really don't want to have to deal with two DVDs. Thanks!
DVDShrink will do the trick if there are no menus. If you want to preserve menus: DvdReMake Pro. Something like: http://www.dimadsoft.com/dvdremakepro/ht_merge1.php
Yes it will be two titles but the second will play after the first with only a few seconds break. I think that it will meet Vajar's need. I have done this with my backup copy of Goodfellows with I purchased on a 'flipper' disk. To avoid loss of quality you could use a DL disk.
I have also done this with Goodfellas. I was not happy with the break nor was I happy with halfway through the movie, the counter on my standalone went back to zero because it was reading a new title. I wanted it with no breaks in the movie and I also wanted it as 1 title. After the process was finished, I backed it up to a dl disc. I also used DVD Rebuilder and made 2 backups onto dvd-5 so I would not have to do this process again.
