Adding further clips to a DVD

If I want to add another film to a DVD RW already with a film on it (bearing in mind the size limitations) how do it acheive it and add the second film to the menu already there.

Maybe I am missing something here but it seems, to me anyway, that I would have to redo the whole disc again adding the second film to the menu structure and reburning (after re-rendering).

Am I correct?

Your don't actually have to re-render but you do need to remux i.e. rebuild the DVD assuming you still have the mpeg and ac3 wav assets used to build the original DVD.

This is not such a big drama if you've kept these. I'd suggest if you find this is something you need to do a lot copy all the assets onto a DVD RW disk. If you need to remaster you can easily do it. If after a while you don't then you can reuse the disk!

There is a standard called Open DVD which lets you put enough info on a DVD so you can pull it all back. Unfortunately DVDA doesn't support this, I know DVD Producer does but it's rather expensive.
