Combining two or more dvds onto one ddv

Is it possible to copy 3 existing home made dvds onto one DVD-R disk. I can copy to a rewriteable disk DVD-RW but DVD player does not recognise the disk . Any ideas ??

If the DVD has the space to hold the three movies then you can fit them on there. Combining DVD movies is not like adding tracks on a CD. DVDs have pretty strict rules about what goes where = authoring. You will need to reauthor the DVD, creating a new VIDEO_TS folder accommodating your three movies together so it will play on your television DVD player. This is not just putting all the files in one folder, but creating correct information files to go with the video. Even if you have a tool that will re-author for you it may not create menus, which makes navigating using your TV pretty cumbersome. Sizzle is a freeware tool that lets you create new menus, but it hasn't been upgraded in a while and is not the most intuitive. If you're happy with just the most basic of menus and working out problems with software then you can use it.
So, simply copying the three sets of files onto a single DVD will not work in your video player, though you can play the files on your computer using a program like VLC.
The other problem you may be encountering is blank media quality. If you are using the cheap DVDs sold in bulk in discount stores you may find your player won't be able to read them. I have put the same movie on cheap DVDs and high-quality ones. The player could not read the chap DVDs but had no problem with the identical files on a good quality DVD. RW media (be it DVD or CD) can often present even more of a problem in players than non-rewritable media, unless you player specifically states it can handle RW.

  • How do I combine two or more pictures into one?

    How do I combine two or more pictures into one?

    I found out how to do what I wanted and I'm giving my steps in hopes that it might help someone else.  I wanted to put several photos from a file onto a new blank image.  This is what I did.
    1.  Create a blank page.    File/New/ Blank File.   Put in the size.  I used 8x10.
    2.  Bring the photo  you want to use into Elements as you always do. It will list along the top next to the blank sheet.
    3.  Choose SELECT (top of screen)/ Select All.
    4.  Choose Edit/Copy   or Command "C"
    5.  Click on the Blank File.   Chose Edit/Paste  or Command "V"
    6.  Click on Image/ Transform or Command "T".  There should be a dotted line around your pasted image.  You can then move and adjust the image to how you want it.  When finished, press the check-mark on lower right of photo.
    7.   Repeat this with all the photos you want on the new blank file.
    8.  You will see on lower right of Elements,  the background layer and as many layers as you have photos.  These layers need to be permanently placed on the background layer. Go to Layers and press Merge Visible.  This will merge all layers to the background.
    9.  Save as and you are done.

  • Combine two or more pdf as one pdf from command line

    Hi,
    I have to combine two or more pdf file as one pdf file from command line.
    Is it possible.
    Thanks,
    Ansaf.

    Acrobat has a rich SDK, but not using the command line - declared obsolete by Adobe several decades ago (but taking a long time to die). To be fair, implementing thousands of APIs via command line would make for a rather complicated command line. Use OLE. BUT NOT ON A SERVER!!

  • Combining Items From Several DVDs Onto One DVD ?

    I know this is not an FCE query but neither is it an iDVD one !
    I have several DVDs with a few short FCE-created films on each of them.
    I now want to put some of those films onto one DVD.
    It could be done by copying the films back into FCE and then burning a DVD, but that would be time-consuming and would involve generational losses.
    Is there a quicker way ? ( I have Toast 8 and Final Cut Studio if there is anything there that could help).
    Ian.

  • How to combine two images in preview onto one page

    Sorry if this topic doesn't go here - there wasn't a "preview" category.
    I have two images that i want to print out on the same page and right now they are each on a separate page in the same file in preview. Does anyone know how I can combine them onto one page?
    Thanks

  • Combining two computer itune files onto one computer

    Initially I set up itunes on my home pc. Then I also setup my laptop and started purchasing music on that computer. Now I am trying to combine them onto one so that I can have all my music on my iphone and ipod. As I guess everyone but me knows this is not easily done. Is there a way to make this happen. I bought the music I should not have to buy it twice. itunes allows you to have several computers on your account why don't they allow you to merge the files from those same computers. HELP

    Where is your back up? Do you not combine it there?
    "As I guess everyone but me knows this is not easily done."
    It is easily done.
    You can copy music to a dvd,cd, flash drive, external drive and move it from on computer to another.
    You can use your ipod to move itunes purchases to an authorized computer.
    Go to the top of this page click "Support", the type "move itunes purchases" or similar into the search support bar. You will get articles to help you do this.

  • Combining two iDVD burned DVDs on a single DVD (regular or DL)

    Any insight appreciated:
    Does any one know if it is possible to combine two iDVD burned DVDs (burned with iDVD current in 2002) on a single DVD either single or double layer?
    17" Flat Panel 1GHz G4 1 GB RAM 80GB Internal   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   iLife '05 (iDVD 5.0.1 and iMovie 5.0.2) on internal, iDVD projects on 300GB LaCie external

    This has been solved. Downloaded and used a program called Handbrake and it successfully extracted the movies, iDVD could read and with a new menu the combined effort was successfull.

  • Combining two or more interactive forms

    How do you combine two or more interactive PDF's in Livecycle? I want to combine at least two forms I created separately in Livecycle so I can print them double sided. I am new to this program. If it is a matter of coding, could someone please explain the steps needed to achieve this. I'm hoping it is possible.
    Thanks

    The only way to combine two LiveCycle forms is in Acrobat. There is a button at the top in Arobat Pro that say "Create". Click that and select PDF Portfolio from the bottom of that list. You can then pick how you would like your portfolio to look and work, and then click the "Add Files" button. You can add as many files as you need to. The display can be customized by changing the color themes, importing a background image or map and creating a custom header. The nice thing about a portfolio is that it can contain a variety of files, not just LiveCycle forms. You can import Word files, videos, music, whatever and when the user selects a file, it will open the native program that they have installed on their computer to run it. Individual pages can be extracted and saved to the user's computer, forms can be filled in and saved back to the portfolio.
    The portolio is then saved as a pdf and the total size is less than the sum of all of it's parts. It can then be emailed and opened by anyone with the free Adobe Reader. We use it to combine brochures and forms in the same pdf to make it easy for our clients to access everything they need.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to show two or more PDF in one PDF-Reader / Concatenate PDF-Files

    Hi,
    I want to show two or more PDF files in one PDF reader window or to concatenate two or mor PDF files to one file.
    We use WD4A and ADS.
    Have someone an idea to solve this without an external program?
    Thx in advance
    Jürgen

    We have done this successfully a few times using WDA - it wasn't easy - it took us 2 full weeks to figure it out, so i need to get full points for this one!
    It's going to much easier to do this if you start a brand new WDA. If not, you'll have to re-do all your Context Node navigations within your methods.
    The first thing you need to do is to define your Context properly:
    You need a top level Node defined as 1:1 cardinality (as with all PDF development)
    Next, you need another Container Node 1:n cardinality (this holds the collection of content nodes)
    Finally, you have your PDF Content Node 1:n cardinality - This holds each instance of your PDF form
    In our scenario, we are passed in a list of Project Numbers. We need to generate a PDF sheet for each project in the same PDF session.
    pseudo code - i'm leaving out some of the unnessary details
    Loop through the project number table.
    ADD 1 TO v_cnt.
    * navigate from <TOP> to <PDF_CONTAINER> via lead selection
        lo_nd_pdf_container = lo_nd_top->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_pdf_container ).
    * This is the Important Part - we check to see if there is an element where index = v_cnt
    * If not, we create one where we can store the new set of data
    * get element via lead selection
        lo_el_pdf_container = lo_nd_pdf_container->get_element( index = v_cnt ).
        IF lo_el_pdf_container IS INITIAL.
          lo_el_pdf_container  = lo_nd_pdf_container->create_element( ).
          lo_nd_pdf_container->bind_element( new_item = lo_el_pdf_container
                                               set_initial_elements = ' '   ).
        ENDIF.
        lo_nd_ideasheet_data =  lo_el_pdf_container->get_child_node( 'IDEASHEET_DATA' ).
        lo_el_ideasheet_data = lo_nd_ideasheet_data->get_element( index = 1 ).
    * fill all the data then bind the structure
    Select * from XXX into lt_XXX
      where project_number = lt_project-project_number.
    * Move Data to appropriate fields/tables
    * Bind the info back to the element
        lo_el_ideasheet_data->set_static_attributes( static_attributes =
                                                  ls_ideasheet_data ).
    Endloop.
