How to author several video_ts folders

I have DVD Architect v5.0d and need to combine several personal DVD's into one DVD with a start menu. What is the best way to do this? I thought about using something like Handbrake to re-encode the video_ts folders and then import into DVD Architect, but hoped there might be an easier way.

Thanks.

VideoRedo Plus will split, trim, join your files into one without re-encoding.
Then you can author your new DVD from that.
That is your best option.

I always concatenate the VOB files using the Copy command:

COPY /B vobfile1.VOB+vobfile2.VOB+vobfile3.VOB newfile.MPG

There are many utility programs that will do the same thing. I came across this free tool, but haven't tried it.

If you need to select only part of the newfile, then I also recommend VideoReDo to avoid re-encoding. Womble is another utility that some people here use.
