    I am backing up my dvd collection and I have a bunch of old school dvds...the kind where the movie is only ~2 gigs. The burner I have right now is a single layer burner and I want to be as economical with discs as possible, so I want to put two movies (essentially 2 VIDEO_TS folders) onto one disc that is playable in a dvd player.

    How would I go about doing this?

    My to-do list looks like this:
    Copy DVD to hard drive (check)
    Compress movies so that 2 movies sum to 1 SL Dvd (will be done soon)
    Burn the two VIDEO_TS folders onto one DVD and add a small menu to select between features on a dvd player (no clue)


    Thanks for any suggestion you may be able to offer

    DVD2OneX is the software you could use to combine to video_ts folders. this is assuming you have already ripped the dvd's to your Mac. DVD2OneX will compress the movies for you to be able to fit onto 1 DVD. You would then use Toast to burn it.

    you could use MPEG Streamclip to extract the video files and then Toast to build a new DVD with menus (or iDVD or DVDSP4)... that's what i'd do...
