How to restructure DVD:s with TV-series?

Hi! I am trying to divide some DVD-9 TV-series DVD:s into DVD-5:s. The discs contain no subtitling and it seems that I can take the original streams and import 3 episodes to a DVD-5. I could do this with Spruce-Up, but would lose the chapters in the process and with Spruce-Up one cannot guarantee that the chapters would stay in place as one has to do the chapter-marking manually. How should I proceed then? What about taking the Vobs of each episode (usually 2 vob-files), joining the with VobEdit and importing into a DVD Authoring software, e.g. DVD Workshop? Would the chapter-marks then stay in their place or how should one do? I would like to create a custom-menu, but keep the chapters intact. Edit: I don't like the menu-making in Maestro, but with the Menu Studio -software one could be able to make a menu and importing it into Maestro and thereby with ChapterXTractor importing the precise chapter-marks as well. I will try that - any other suggestions? Thank you for any help, Teko

without trying to sound rude, is it really that much trouble to make the chapters yourself?

Try the new ifoupdate 063 program. U can reconstruct the complex structure of a multi-pgc dvd even on Spruce-Up. There is a relevant thread in Advanved DVD authoring forum.
