Any help will be most appreciated with this...

I've recently been sent some of ADM's intriguing Harry Potter Fan Edits on single layer dvd discs. Each film is in two parts - part one on one disc, part two on another.

I also have a blank dual layer disc - and I wish to copy the 2 parts of the film onto the dual layer disc.

How do I go about this?

(am I being an idiot and it's that simple in that I just burn part one, and then burn part two after onto the dual layer disc using a program like dvddecrypter?)

In a nutshell, extract the movie files, import them into something like DVD-Lab and remaster the DVD as a DL-DVD. You'll have to redo the menus. It wouldn't be too terribly time-consuming.

MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.

MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.

JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.

Would it be possible to do something like this with an ol' flipper disc, like WB's The Man Who Would Be King? Just wondering.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Yep. Double-sided discs are basically just two regular discs stuck together.

[edit]Totally missed the point of your question originally![/edit]

Ooh, a laserdisc. The Cheat's playin' something on a laserdisc.
Everything is better on a laserdisc. Whatever happened to the laserdisc? Laserdisc!
