Hi All,

Is there any software in Linux which will merge two dvds into one?
I have two Sony Handycam DVDs which have been finalized so I can read then in Linux..

Presently using SUSE 10

Thanks in Advance,

Gordy

cat /media/dvd/ > dvd1.iso
[change dvd]
cat /media/dvd/ > dvd2.iso
cat dvd1.iso dvd2.iso > dvd3.iso

thanks for your help. The only way I could get it to work was:

cat /dev/dvdrecorder > dvd1.iso

and so on. This was the only way I could access the dvd drive.
Thanks once again in pointing me in the right direction.

sorry, i should have pointed out that the dvd might have been mounted in a different place but you sorted it anyway so no worries. cat > *
