Edit excisting DVDmenu

[slayerDK]

Hi. I have authored a dvd (swat) changing the french sub

with danish sub and everything works gr8 ,( thanks to this forum )

Is it possible to edit the Menu Graphics, so i can change the words

'French Sub' to 'Danish Sub'. ?

It has something to do with editing some graphics i guess.

Is it possible and what kind of program should i use

Thanks in advance

Yes its possible but you have to author everything from scratch.
Because of the menu creation, I recomend you to use DVDMaestro (http://www.doom9.org/mpg/maestro.htm )

You have to demux the VTS?_0.VOB by VobID and then demux the resulting vobs to get the m2v and ac3 for the maestro assets.

If the menu you want to change is in a still m2v (single frame) you can save it to bmp, edit it, import in maestro and then use this instead of the m2v you demuxed.
If its a movie you can edit it frame by frame or re-encode it with a layer above it to replace the text you want. For this, just create a small bmp with the changes you want to make and then create a avisynth script like this

back=mpeg2source("your d2v file with the menu to change")
front=ImageReader("the bmp you create", 0, 0, 25, false).Loop(600)
Retval=Layer(Back,front,"add",255,x,y) (where x,y coordinates)
return retval
Then encode the script to m2v, import in maestro and have fun reauthoring the movie from scratch

Hope this helps..

If it's only one cell, then demux the assets as mentioned. Then make a vob to be used as the replacement. I don't know about maestro, but in scenarist just put all the assets on the track editor, and then multiplex all together. (video, audio, and subpicture). Next use menuedit to replace the cell with the new one. You can use subrip to get the subpic from the vob.
