Anyway to copy several short movies on separate DVDs onto 1 DVD?

patto_chan

A friend of mine is travelling abroad and sends home short DVDs of his travels - places he's been etc.
They are about 20 to 30 minutes in length.

I have been asked to make copies for family and friends.
It is labour and time intensive to copy each DVD individually and takes up lots of blank media.
Since the cumulative run time of all DVDs together is only about 2 hours I was wondering is there some way to copy all of them onto 1 DVD?

Any suggestions of how I could use my Mac and DVD burner to achieve this?

You should be able to use handbrake to rip the specific sections out and then burn them with burn software onto one dvd.

Moojuice

or VOB edite. Its a tiny program but rips dvd's without the menus. It rips them to seperate audio and video streams.

What about ripping them to DV, importing them to iDVD via iMovie and make each short movie a chapter complete with user freindly menus !?

And how about the other way around? iDvd is turning an 899mb xvid file into a 5.2gb DVD. Is there any way to burn a standard divx movie to DVD to play in an ordinary DVD player?

Use Handbrake to rip the small sections

Then use Toast 7.1 to burn them and compile them.

Very simple.
