Video too fast when authoring with IfoEdit .95

[level42]

Want to create a DVD with the authoring feature of IfoEdit. I have demuxed the video and audio to .m2v and .wav files from an original DVD with DVDdecrypter in IFO mode. Then I replaced the .wav file with a (48kHz) remastered .wav file and used the authoring feauture in IfoEdit to make a DVD filestructure from it.

It all works OK, no errors, but the resulting VOB files have the problem that the video part is going way too fast (almost two times as fast as it should). The audio is playing fine at normal speed.

There are no problems with the source files, I've done exactly the same thing with Ulead DVD Workshop and it works fine. So this must be a bug in IfoEdit. I prefer to use IfoEdit for mastering so I can add several soundtracks and subtitles, this is not possible with DVD Workshop.
So I hope someone (the author of the program) can look into this bug and fix it.

Thanks

why are you using a .wav track??? i've done many DVD's using ifo edit and the method you describe and they all work fine.
the only diference is that i used AC-3 6 channel tracks...

Well a very simple reason: This DVD is a concert but something in the mastering process went wrong: the audio distorts like they used the internal Windows routines for converting 44.1 kHz sound to 48 kHz. It really sounds horrible. The sound is simply stereo LPCM on the source DVD.
However, there is also a CD release of the same concert, and this audio is fine.

So what I did was convert all the audio tracks to 48 kHz with a GOOD program and recreate the entire wav by using Video Deluxe.
I put the converted CD files exactly at the right places compared to the orignal extracted DVD sound.
This way I could use the original DVD sound for some parts (like introductions to the songs) because the sound of the DVD and the CD are not 1:1 copies...

Anyway, the result is a very large single 48 kHz wav file I want to have as a LPCM sound track on the new DVD. LPCM means no encoding, so no decrease in audio quality, and there were no surround channels anyway...

Hope this explains it...

i see what you mean now!!! go idea to use the cd sound!! :P
is the video fluid??? or does it "jumps"???
you could try to convert the wav into a 2 channel ac-3.
one other thing...
did you transcode the DVD???

i think i know what's the problem...
the size of those two wav's is not the same....
so you might have a problem there...
