To make a multi boot DVD from CDs
Situation 1) - all the CDs have unique file / directory names at the top level so this makes it easy, just extract the boot info and put it in the right directory, extract all the files from the CDs to the other directory (as they are all unique no need to rename anything). Create the menu etc and away you go.
Situation 2) The problems occurs when the CDs dont have unique files/directories at the top level so some things have to be renamed BUT then you have to go searching through the other files on the CD that get called during boot process and apply the changed names to these as well which will probably mean using a hex editor to modify binary files.

@punter
Welcome 
Situation 1) Correct.
Situation 2) Correct. And yes in many cases you have to hex editing some files - though you in normal case don’t need any external hex editor. You can use button “Tools” and then choose >Replace text<.

I suppose there is a third situation:-
Rescue Cds that run DOS then start whatever .exe that recue disk does.
In this case it does not matter that if all the versions of DOS on the CDs have the same file names and as DOD is DOS that does not matter you just have to creates a new .bat file to let you pick what application to run.

Well in many (or most) cases rescue CD,s start floppy images like “somefilename.ima” or “somefilename.img”
In EasyBoot you put this floppy images in EasyBoot\disk1\ezboot and set start command (standard command) in menu to: run somefilename.ima
More commands to take attention to here: http://www.ezbsystems.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=2597
