Copying multiple 8cm DVD's to one Large DVD

Reggae · 03-12-2009, 02:49 PM

Can anyone tell me how I store videos (recorded on mini disc - 8cm DVD-RW - 1.4 GB each) on computer hard drive, then burn 3 of them all onto the one larger DVD (4.7 GB).
Trouble I'm having is that the individual video segments on each mini disc are given the same name so that when I add the 2nd or 3rd mini disc recordings to NERO (ready for burning onto 4.7GB DVD), a message comes up asking do I want to replace them. I've tried to rename the stored video segments from each mini disc but then NERO & Windows Movie Maker will not recognise them. It's driving me crazy. Burning one mini disc (1.4GB) onto one normal DVD (4.7GB) is a waste of disc space. Would greatly appreciate help, Cheers

when you rename try add a number to it like 1_
then 2_ then 3_. a proggy that ive had a lot of luck with dvdsanta to burn.
you can get the trial ver for 30days.

dont change the name so to speak. your just adding the number to it.

Then use Nero to burn the files

First copy each mini-DVd to your HD in 3 seperate folders. Since they are no encryped you don't need a decrypter. Just a straight control-c copy will work.

Once there you will need to "author" each disc into a main movie. There are lots of free progrmas that do that sort of thing. Here is a link with a bunch of ooptions atarting with the free ones.

you should try some pro video platinum in order to finish your task. Like what 69mako said, there are a lots of free programs (or free trial version) to help you achieving your goal. I recommend aimersoft dvd studio pack, you can get a trial version here:
