I have windows 8.1 with update 1 that dvd size is more than 4.3 G and i want compress it for reduce size.

 

WHICH .esd files?

 

I convert install.wim 32Bit and 64 bit to two separated .esd files.and I want merge them together.

I don't think that what you want to do - which is if I get it right to make a single install.esd capable of installing BOTH a x86 and a x64 Windows 8.x is doable at all , BUT IF it is possible (which again I doubt) most probably the tool that might be able to do it is Wimlib:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wimlib/

 

You could try posting a (possibly DETAILED) question on the matter here:

It' better to merge them as Install.wim first, then convert it to esd
 
although i doubt the size will drop if merge the two esd files (because of the solid compressed chunks), but you could try it
 
the merge command is the same whether it's wim or esd

dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:install2.wimdism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:install.esd /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:install2.esd /compress:recoveryorwimlib-imagex export install.wim all install2.wimwimlib-imagex export install.esd all install2.esd
