With Nero DiscMerge you can merge split files and folders that had been burned on multiple discs using the DiscSpan (UDF) compilation type. The content of the discs is copied on the hard drive during this process. You can exclude individual files from the copy process or select specific files to be copied.
The tool Nero DiscMerge was burned on the last disc of the set – the so called Master Disc – by Nero Burning ROM.
