I had a film on DVD that I backed up using CloneDVD this program split the film onto two disks. My brother (without my knowledge) lent my original film to one of his friends and he has lost it. I still have my film, but, I would like to have it back on one disk. Is there a program that I could use to reconstruct my film to a single disk? The files on both disks share the same file names and numbers, I tried copying all the files to my HD and then changing the file names on the second disk without success. The files in question are IFO, VOB and BUP files. Has anyone come across this problem before? Here's hoping, Piet.

Hi, DVDRemake PRO joins previously split movies back together. It also does quite a lot of other things too but it depends on whether you would find them useful Smile

since you no longer own the original, you are no longer allowed to make an archive of it, when an original is lost you must either replace the original or destroy the copy. The copy stays with the original.

Hi, I thought the whole idea of making a backup was in the eventuality of losing your original DVD you still have a copy of the original film. If as you say, that on losing your original, in other words you no longer physically have it, you have to destroy your copy. Tell me, what is the point of making copies of your DVD library? Is this not the reason we make copies to safe-guard ourselves against such loss, such as fire, theft, earthquakes or armageddon. I think the point you are making is that if the original becomes damaged, you always have the copy to fall back on. Are you telling me that you, or anyone else, would retain a damaged disk indefinitely just so your copies would be legal? (That was a rhetorical question, I don't require an answer). Piet.

lol, I know what you mean and mine ain't an answer but more an expansion Wink it's pretty obvious chaosmaker was talking in 'legal' terms. If you do lend out a Disc then the backup should really stay with it ( I know it was without the owners consent also) this thread is about how they can join a Disc back together from the original backup. It would be nice to know what the 'legalities' are when creating another backup of something you now do not possess the original of? do you need to posess the original to make the backup as this is 'proof' of ownership?. If not then you could just make backups of the backups, sell the original (claiming they were stolen, lost, damaged etc) before destroying the 'original' backup Very Happy
