Changing many files into ONE?

[rapallo]

'I have 23 musical video clips which I made on Shrink reauthor. As they are now 23 video files, is there a really 'easy' way to change those 23 files into 1 (continuous title so that there will not be any noticeable pauses between clips) and then burning the result all joined together?' I am requesting an easy way due to not having learned too much about editing as of yet.

I tried to use VOBedit but i really didnt understand what i was doing?

Ohhhhhh thats the one i tried and I couldnt understand how to do it

OK, try "Join a flipper" in my signature.

Otherwise, use Ner0 Rec0de's Merge Titles feature (if you have that program).

Nero Vision can also be used to "merge" several VOB's into one title. (as long as they have the same structure). The program will automatically create new .IFO files for the project.

I think what Rapallo was asking is if there was an 'easier' way to create one title from the multiple titles to 'get rid of that noticeable stall' other than benbryant's guide. I think Rapallo isn't quite yet comfortable with VOBEdit and IFOEdit.

Oh thank you thank you cynthia I hope I have finally found the simple way to do this!!!! Well I do have Nero Recode2 and I have read and see how you do it all and its easy but I still have (ONE) and one only problem! When I import all the 23 files and highlight them, the MERGE control is grayed out! So I still cant merge all my titles into one!

I tried it with a commercial DVD and moved random titles across and the MERGE was not grayed out, so I see it is all working ok, yet not with all the 23 titles I created? Why would that be, do you know please?

I used SHRINK to make all these film clips and then I didnt know that the MERGE control on Recode was for doing that?

Would I have been better in making those original 23 clips in Recode2 instead? Thats if you can do a compilation in Recode2 with many clips joined together, can you?

Well any help here would be greatly appreciated, as Ive spent days on this new search

They need the same video and audio attributes to be able to be merged.

So does that mean i will never be able to use the merge control on recode2 when I have a combination of clips with different sound tracks like 5.1, 4.1, etc etc?
Do you mean the merge control will really only work if all my clips were from the same movie???

What Ive been trying to do is merge my 23 favourate saved songs from many many different movie musical films and they are all differnt sound tracks.

blooie is right, files have to be the same to join them. once you have that, you can import the files from dvd shrink into TMPGEnc dvd author (free 30 day trial) by selecting "add dvd video" all under the same track. they will be joined. easiest way possible IMO

U can try Womble MPEG Video Wizard.It will let u import the vob files into the time line.

[MikeyBK]

Rapallo's main goal is to get rid of the noticeable stalls between the clips. Merging them with Recode would still have that pause.
Would TMPGEnc or Womble MPEG Video Wizard merge the clips and remove that stalling?

TMGEnc DVD Author will. (if added under the SAME TRACK)
