I've created an ISO file for multiple projects.

Now, I'd like to combine them into 3 DVDs.

I know I can merge the projects in PD15, but is there a way to instead merge the ISO files onto a DVD and end up with the same result as if I'd have merged their respective project files?

If this has been previously asked/answered can someone refer me to that link please?

Think of an ISO as an actual disc. If it's a DVD then the file structure on it gives a DVD player all the instructions needed to play the DVD plus the DVD menu (if there is one). You can't just merges two ISO's or two DVD's.

You can mount the ISO, a process that makes them appear to your computer as if they are physical DVD's and then you can copy the video files (.vob's) off them to create another project, assuming that they are not protected in any way.

Does that help?

p.s. - do you mean you want to split what is contained on your ISO up and create 3 different DVD's with the contents?

Thanks for the info, I'll just merge the projects.
