I believe the "help" is included in the product. You can try that as a starting point

I don't have your exact software.  I'm also joining this morning to learn info for help on difficulties.
   The Roxio 9 XE I'm using has File - Tools - View - Help on the second bar from the top (just under title bar).  Yours may also.  The menu under Help includes Tutorial and Media Guide.  Give those a try, if you haven't already, to familiarize yourself.
   It may be useful to do a starter project or two for familiarization, such as making a single DVD, and then try your compilation project.  Pay attention to the large control panel on the bottom of the project window.  Usually on the left info about space used and space available on disc is available.

Dell has forums where you can ask questions and get advice from other users here:

We'd like to help, but the Roxio Creator DE is a different version than the one we use so any information we can give you might be incorrect.

Yeah I tried that and it only tells me how to import the DVD's, but when I go to copy them onto a master It will only copy one...Thanks for trying to help!!

"....I want to take three dvd's that I created..."

Just out of curiousity, What program did you use to create the three DVD's ?? Was it the same program ?
Usually, on the Roxio EMC 9 program, one would use the "Videowave" program to create each DVD and save it (dmsm file)for use in the MyDVd program. Then if several Videowave program or productions were saved in Videowave, you could use each of them on the same DVD in the MyDVD program. Hopefully this might help in your Dell version.

However, as already mentioned, this Roxio forum is not familiar with the watered down programs that come with a new computer, so it's hard to be of any help. ml's suggestion to try the Dell forum is a good suggestion.

What kind of DVDs are you talking about? Dat, video or what?
If video, how long in time are the videos? You can only put 60 minutes of video at best quality on a DVD. You simply cannot copy "3 DVDs" on to 1 DVD if they are video. All the video has to be first brought to the hard drive and then "assembled" to make the DVD.

Perhaps if you were to explain in detail what you have done so far, what program you are using, someone might offer some suggestions.

The thee dvd's are very small and they are clips of my company when they were featured on TV.  Each time we were on a show, the show would send us a dvd copy.  I am just trying to put all the different clips onto one so that my makeup artist doesn't have to carry around multiple dvd's.  I even tried to import them into Final Cut Pro and the video copied over, but the audio would not follow.  I appreciate everyone trying to help me!!
