Thank you very much for this share. Appreciated as always.

I think I'm doing this wrong. Per your suggestion, I created a single main Video_TS folder from the first download. I now have individual VOB/IFO/BUP files in essentially 24 separate folders to move to this main folder (24 = 3 separate download folders for each for the 8 links, and excluding 9/10 Special Features). These all downloaded unzipped.

Since many of the separate VOB files for different years share common names, I can't seem to move them into the main Video_TS folder unless I choose "keep both," in which case the second VOB file will now have "copy" in its title. (Note I don't see a "merge" option on my Mac). Not sure if this is the right way to go?

Hope this makes sense. Welcome any thoughts. Thanks again.
I've been using that method for years.

Start with the first zip file that, when unzipped, will be your main folder. Right-click that new folder and select "open in another tab". That tab will be at the far most right-hand side of your Finder page.

Then unzip a second zip file and when asked select "keep both". nThat new folder will have the 2 suffix. Open that folder, select at the VIDEO_TS folder you just unzipped, right-click "copy" and then go in the folder that is opened at the far most right-sand side (I'll call it the "main folder") from now on. Paste the copied folder in there. You will now have 3 choices: cancel, replace or merge. select merge and voila.

I hope it is clearer now.

I'd like to propose one more method that I've been using since 1997.
1.Open Total Commander.
2.Select all downloaded files.
3.Press Alt-F9, then backspace to delete the field contents (to unpack to current dir), then Enter.
4....
5.PROFIT.

Note: I suppose many 'Norton Commander' -like clones support this behavior also.
