From: orbro on 11 May 2010 15:43 A friend presented me with some short mpegs shot by a digital camera and two different DVDs, authored from two different camera videos, all of the same event. He wants me to join the three files (I'm assuming here that all I need from the two DVDs is the main VOB file from each) into a new DVD ie. one that is authored to play in a consumer DVD player. I rarely dabble in this area, so tend not to read posts on the general subject, so I beg your indulgence if this matter has been discussed recently. Anyway, I'm looking for freeware (natch) to accomplish said goal. TIA O

I suspect that you will have to convert all three to a common spec before attempting to append them to each other. To my shame, I haven't got round to using freeware to do this but the payware I do use complains if the streams are not similar! That said, there is a freeware called avidemux which appears to do all you require. Kind regards, >David

I think it was because my head nearly exploded trying to read the directions. :0) O

Use VOB2MPG to convert each DVD vob set to a single mpeg2 file. 2.) Use GSpot to verify that all the mpegs are DVD-compliant. 3.) If necessary, use Any Video Converter Free to reencode non-compliant mpegs to DVD-compliant mpegs. 4.) Create a new DVD by loading all 3 ordered compliant mpeg2 files into 007 DVD Author Free.
