Multiple DVDs to one Blu-ray?

I have a couple of movies, each on its own DVD, that I'd like to store on a single Blu-ray (with a menu selection to allow me to choose either). Is this possible? And if so, any pointers to the method would be much appreciated. TIA...

Just add one DVD after the other ans select Blu-Ray as output

Right, many thanks. I had to create DVD files on my hard drive, and could then drag them to the input screen. I burnt a Blu-ray, and I can choose the movie I want, but one problem: if I press "Disk Menu" in the middle of either movie, the player hangs and will respond to no input command -- it needs power cycling from the wall switch to come back to life. Needless to say, this is not normal behaviour, and I wonder if it is a known issue?

It's the first time I hear about it. Could you tell the brand and model of your player? Is the firmware updated?

Felicia, thanks for your follow-up. The player is a Samsung BD-J5500 -- the firmware is up-to-date as far as I'm aware,

It certainly doesn't hang on "commercial" Blu-rays; later this week, I'll try converting a single DVD to Blu-ray just to check whether it might be a side-effect of having written two movies on one disk, and report back.

Well, I re-burned the same DVD files after making some changes to the Converter settings menu, and this time no problems. So, I don't know exactly what the issue was before, but it's not important enough (to me) to spend more time on, since I have what I wanted. I think we can come off red alert, but thanks very much, Felicia, for your attention. Good to know you and your colleagues are so engaged with your customers :)
