With 7.5, is it possible to burn more than one iso file to one DVD so that they can be played separately?

Not with any program but you can have several "movies" on one disc provided that you don't exceed one hour for best quality. Since DVDs are pretty inexpensive, unless you are going to burn hundreds, why would you want to?

The problem is that I have several iso files (not full disk size), but do not have the original avi files that they were derived from, and want to put them all on one DVD.

Couldn't you capture the tracks and create a new DVD with DVDBuilder?

If what your meaning is to burn it to a DVD then capture it back to your hard drive, yes. I am not aware of another way, not to say there isn't one.

Hmm . . . wonder if it's possible to capture from Disc Image Loader. Gotta give that a try. If not, this might be a good time to use a RW DVD.

With this tool dvd shrink, google.
You will have to use it to convert both into video ts and audio ts folders.
Then load one in click reauthor add the title, right click add. Right side top down arrow. Browse to the other one, right click add. Now you have the option to output to folders or ISO. If there under 4464mb the whole process should take 10-15 minutes.
If you need help search for guides.

OR......

You could burn the .iso files to DVD Video folders on your hard drive with Disk Copier.

Then use EMC 7 Capture to capture the video from the folders on your hard drive.

You'll have to put the movies onto one menu in DVD Builder and then burn the new DVD.

I would like to ask a question. Unless my capture is broken! How long would it take you to capture 2, 2gb files?

I don't know. The poster didn't say how large the files are.

I was just trying to give another alternative way of doing what the poster asked. It can be done using the EM7 programs. It might not be as fast as your suggestion, but it can be done.

I agree, if you have the time to wait! The program won't except vob files that it's own Disc Copier makes. Has to, what ever into a name DVD Builder likes. The real question is why!

And just to muddy the waters even more, why not just mount the .ISO files using Disc Image Loader (under the "Tools" section of EMC 7.5) and then have direct access to the video folders?

I understand what your saying. But please explain what authors both to burn as one DVD video. The poster asked ( is it possible to burn more than one iso file to one DVD so that they can be played separately)
Is there a way other than rebuilding the files in DVD Builder, because it don't like vob or ISO images. So now were back to import, or please explain further.
I would love to try it, and learn new ways.

Already suggested that a few posts up Will give it a try in a few and report back.

YES, IT WORKED!! I loaded an ISO from an external drive in Disc Image Loader. Then I opened Capture Video and ba-da-boom, the virtual drive was recognized and the capture proceeded normally. This would make it quite easy for the OP to capture from his ISOs and combine them in DVD builder.

I see its time to concede here! You are all correct mlpasley,
Patty, d_deweywright, and sisterscape. That will do the job in 7.5.

It makes no sense for a suite not to recognize files other parts of that suite make, and one has to re-capture them the O-SO-SLOW way and re-build them again.

Easy, not bad. Longest route, definitely!

The thing with .ISO files is that they are an "image" of the disc, so you have to do something to get at the contents. The image tells exactly where everything would otherwise go on the disc, what sector, address, etc. So, there's simply no way to "merge" multiple ISO files without creating a new project.

Now, if all you wanted to do was write the .ISO files as simple data files to a Data DVD, for archival type purposes, that can be done, but it's not what the original poster was after.

Glad you found that Disc Image Loader helped!

I know, that's why I posted my short route!

It really didn't. I can take the ISO into Disc Copier and turn them into video ts folder fairly fast. As I said before either way your still back to import, the long route.
