Just purchased a read/write blu ray for my computer. I am wanting to transfer my home video collection from my DVD's to Blu ray disks.

I have been advised by Cyberlink support that I can do this by putting the VOB files from my DVD onto the hard drive. Then insert the VOB files into P.D. 9. Then produce and burn onto a Blu ray disk.

This works OK and no problems. But as the Blu Ray disk is not full, I then put another video file from my DVD onto the hard drive & repeat the process again.

This works, but the only way PD 9 will let me do this is to delete the first video. I wish to keep both video's on the Blu ray disk.

Is there any way around this problem?

Hi Alan

Welcome to the volunteer forum

A way to achieve this is to copy your DVD files onto your hard drive in ONE folder (named let's say DVD 1).

Then import these files into PD and Produce using the MPEG2 DVD HQ profile.

Repeat the above steps for the other DVD's you may have.

The key to this is to save to your harddrive and to Produce your DVD's first.

The second step is to watch this tutorial by PDtoots that shows how to import all those Produce MPEG files into one 'burnable' project.

Hi Neil,

Just had a quick look at the excellent video.

My problem is that my second DVD which I want to include on the Blu ray disk has nothing in common with the first DVD files I have saved & produced.

Therefore I assume that looking at the instructional video, I must put all[u] the files together onto the blu ray disk, am In correct in assuming this?

Hi Alan

You must treat each of your DVD's as separate projects and Produce them all separately. Eg. If you have 10 DVD's then you would have 10 projects and 10 Produced files.

These '10' Produced files are then added to the above mentioned Youtube toot
