• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

or attach a second encode or a part B encode to the initial encode? In other words, the dvd has 2 parts. When I place both in the Queue, Part B overwrites Part A. I want to add part B to Part A?

What am i doing wrong?

You can't stitch 2 parts together in Handbrake.
What file format are the files you want to join?

I'm just trying to compress a TS_Video file from the

dvd that I ripped onto my computer. It was ripped with Mac the Ripper and it is the exact image of the dvd with all the special features, etc. I want to compress this to .mP4 using Handbrake but it only compresses the main feature.

Handbrake won't do it.
You need Toast really, or ffmpegx may be able to do it, but Toast with Popcorn is the thing you need if your trying to compress to a single layer DVD.
Popcorn used to be available separately, but I'm not sure if it still is.
