I did exactly as you suggested, but as I stated earlier, the files were not
combined
into a single file on the burned DVD. When I tried playing the burned DVD, it
would
only run each file individually, so each file had to be started separately. How
can
these files be merged into a single file for playback?

Also, is there any reason to transfer the backup and info files onto the burned
DVD?
I don't need any backups or info, so if playback doesn't require them, I would
just as
soon not copy them over. If they are required for playback, where does one put
them?
