Ripping a 2 part DVD into 1 Movie

I am currently trying to take a DVD that is divided into 2 separate discs, but overall is the same movie. I generally use MakeMKV to rip a DVD and then Handbrake to encode it.

Question I have is, How can I combine them into 1 continuous file whilst maintaining its integrity?

The only thought I have had so far is if I could import it into a video editing program and just combine them, but am not sure if that is possible to even begin with.

Thanks for the ideas in advance.

ffmpeg should be able to do this

An alternative method is to use avidemux, to combine both of your files into one. Simply open part 1, followed by 2. Then you can save the new file and it will combine rather quickly. Uses ffmpeg as a backend so you also get a bunch of the other functionality of it in GUI form. Hope this helps!

Remember to add the -safe 0 flag to make sure it doesn’t fail upon reading filenames.
