Can be DVDRemake used for adding/replacing audio in DVD?

[lcask]

Hi, I am looking for a software with the aim to reauthor my DVD by adding or replacing an audio stream, preferably not changing the structure (menu, etc..) of DVD... Thanx for advice L.

There is no direct way to do it with DvdReMake at the moment.

Well, I noticed this too... The question is - are you planing to add this feature: extract an audio stream from a VTS so it can be converted (by an external program like besweet), and then re-import the new audio stream (replacing the old one) ? There is afaik no tool available which can replace an audio stream. All available solutions are only valid for a single movie without menues, or for complete reauthoring (starting from scratch). This would be a key feature for DvdReMake imho ! Inserting a completely new stream would not be necessary.

You can demux your main movie vobs into the video and audio streams using vobedit. Then you can use IFOEdit to remux the video stream with your new/changed/different audio stream. Finally you use IFOUpdate to correct/fix the ifo structure to maintain the integrity of your movie with it's menu system. All of these programs and their uses are explained on doom9.org in the guides for each program.

Hi and welcome to the forums Stu Redman @old-hack, I thought about that exact same method but the thing is it's for a single PGC only so I didn't think about mentioning it:(. I might have overlooked something but I'm sure you couldn't do it this way with a multi PGC if it was a multi PGC then you would have to replace each cell individually in the PGC. I thought about demuxing with DVDDecrypter/Vobedit but then you would lose all the chapters info as you could not use IFOUpdate on an IFO that is now a single PGC when it was a multi PGC before to overcome it, I thought that if you load the DVD into DVDShrink and rip the title you want with No Compression (use reauthor), this should give you your single PGC IFO for the movie with the correct chapters etc. Demux the DVDShrink output with Vobedit and remux with Ifoedit after changing the audio and finally use IFOUpdate to fix the cell info you can then 'replace' the main movie PGC cells in DRM with the cells from the PGC in the authored DVD you just made (one by one though ) I haven't tried it though but rather ran it through my head a few times so it may be wrong or not even possible

How's about in stead of replacing the audio stream, adding a second stream, and then strip the original. The alter the commands to select the new audio stream in stead of the original. Will that make life easier??? Or does is still have the same limitations?

Hi MackemX, thanks for the hints ! Sounds very complicated though. I'm almost getting it up to the part where you suggest "replace the PGC in DRM". How can I do this ? There's only "copy PGC" and "append copied PGC", no "replace PGC", or am I overloking something ? Hi Mirx, sorry, don't get your point...

[MackemX]

if you used Ifoupdate then it should create a PGC that has exactly the same amount of programs/cells as the original PGC. To replace the original PGC you would have to replace each cell individually from the newly authored PGC using the replace cell feature f only DRM allowed you to replace a PGC or even better, allowed you to delete anything from a cell to a complete VTS, it would make things a lot more powerful when authoring

If your using an NTSC source you may want to remux with Rejig, rather than IFOEdit, as IFOEdit tends to make more faulty discs with NTSC formatted discs than Rejig. The opposite goes for PAL discs, PAL is handled better by IFOEdit.
