How to Merge Multiple DVD Titles into One

Question 1: “Is there a guide to merge multiple DVD titles into one single output file? For example, combining the main movie, the outtakes feature, and the "making of" feature into a single seamless output file that plays all three beginning to end. MP4/MKV desired but Xvid is ok too. I have tried the recommended programs "mkvmerge" and "DVD2one" but the documentation just doesn't cover what I want to do. Is there a cookbook guide somewhere? How can I merge several DVDs into one tile?”

Question 2: “How Do I Combine Files from One DVD And Another to Create Single DVD? Here's what I need to do; I have 2 DVD's - they're regular DVD-R discs, nothing official. The 2 DVD's consist of a concert, but one half of the concert is on 1 DVD, and the other half of the concert is on the other DVD. I just want to be able to combine these into one file so that I can then author it into a single DVD so the show is contained all on one DVD rather than 2. Is there a way to do this without losing any quality? Since they're DVD's I guess the files are considered .VOB or that's just the same as mpeg2 since these are DVD's correct? Any info on how to do this task would be a big help. Thanks a lot.”

If you also have such kind of needs, this guide would be perfect for you. Here we would like to introduce 3 different tools to help you merge selected DVD titles into one file in detail. Just check the below content and choose the one that meets you most.
