Merge DVDs with DVD Remake Pro Tutorial

This tutorial is specific to the action of merging or combining two or more mini 8cm DVDs into one regular sized DVD retaining the full data and menu structure of the originals with no loss of quality using either DVDRemake or DVDRemake Pro.

Before we even get started it is a good idea to create the working folders for the program. How and where you do this will depend on your computer set-up but for the purposes of this demonstration I created a folder on my C drive called "Remake" with the intention of using that one to store my imported DVDs. I then created a folder called "Remake export" on my E drive for when I export my newly merged DVD.

Ripping / Importing

Although the procedure for using DVDRemake or DVDRemake Pro to do this is quite simple I have laid out the steps in detail with lots of images so if the page is slow to load be patient. Theoretically each image is worth a thousand words!

Before you start to merge DVDs you will first need to download either DVDRemake for two mini DVDs into one or DVDRemake Pro for three or four DVDs into one. If you want to know why only this software then go here to Merge Combine DVDs.

Preparation

Now all you have to do is open DVDRemake Pro and go to "tools" "options" and you get the following dialogue box. Use the "select" buttons to navigate to your previously created folders, click "Ok" and you are set up and ready to go.

What you need to do now is to get the contents of the DVDs you want to merge on to your hard drive. For this demo I will be merging two of my own homemade videos. The procedure is the same for three or four DVDs into one.

Now that you have DVDRemake Pro set up the next few steps do not require that the program is open so you can shut it down at this point.

The two DVDs I will be merging are one of my kid fooling around in the bath, called "Bathtime." The other is one of a school excursion to a place outside Taipei where we live called "Taoyuan." So before I begin to merge DVDs I create two folders in the "Remake " folder on my C drive called "Bathtime" and "Taoyuan."

I placed the "Bathtime" DVD in my computer DVD drive and selected "Open." That reveals the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders in the DVD. From there it it is simple matter of dragging those two folders across to the "Bathtime" folder. Rinse and repeat for the next DVD which in this case is the "Taoyuan" DVD contents to the "Taoyuan" folder.

Now re-open DVDRemake Pro if you shut it down before and go to "file" "import DVD."

You will get this dialogue box and using that I navigated to the "Remake" folder on my C drive.

Then to the "Bathtime" folder.

And finally to the VIDEO_TS folder of the "Bathtime" DVD. Make sure when you do this it looks exactly like the screeshot below with the BUP, IFO and VOB files showing.

Merge Combine DVDs

The merge dvds procedure is exactly the same if you are merging or combining full sized DVDs however you will need other software to either re-compress the files to the single layer DVD size or use DVD Burning Software that will allow you to burn to a dual layer DVD disc.
