2 movies on 1 dvd+r

[Freebird1977]

i've searched the forum and can not find a specific answer to my question so i hope it's alright to post this.
I have masterd the art of burning two dvd movies to one standard 4.7 gb dvd+r disk.
now when i use dvd shrink 3.2 it backs up the movie to my hard drive but since I am wanting to burn a second movie to the disk I let the first be saved on my hard drive and proceed with saving the 2nd movie.
Now when I get ready to create a new disk with the Reauthoring tool on dvd shrink and open the files I have to go through the back up process again and save both movies on my hard drive again after they have already been saved.
Is there anyway I can make this process easier without having the back up the movies twice?
I hope this makes sense and any help would be appreciated!

welcome to the forum

best if you provide a "step-by-step" description on how you're doing it.

You only need to back up one movie to your drive in order that Reauthor can access the hard drive one and the second on DVD.
See the guide at http://www.dvdshrink.info/compilation.php

If you have BOTH one DVD burner and one DVD-ROM(/Player), or two DVD burners, you don't have to save EITHER DVD to your hard drive first. Simply use DVD Shrink in the "re-author" mode to read from each drive (One at a time, of course ;>})
