Hi folks,
I've recently added the second audio stream to an existing DVD and would like to share this knolidge cause I got though a lot of problems.
The programs you will need for this are: DVD Shrink, IFO Edit, VOB Edit and ReJig.
First of all, you get DVD Shrink and rip an original DVD on the disk in Re-author more. Please, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Output File and uncheck an option Split VOB files into 1GB chunks [u]before[/u you start ripping. You may exclude unnesesary audio/subtitle streams with DVD Shrink - so do it on this step.
You will get a huge VOB file. Start ReJig, go to File Mode, load your huge VOB and use Demux button to extract audio and video stream(s). For audio do not forget to check Fix & Correct AC3 Delay option. Unfortunately, ReJig cannot demux all the streams in one time so you'll need to extract all the streams separately - but it allows to fix an audio delay, so I prefere to use it.
If you've got a subtitle stream, you need VOB Edit - ReJig is unable to extract subs. Run VOB Edit, load you hige VOB file, click Demux button and select Demux all Sups Streams and hit Ok - you'll get your subpicture stream.
At this moment you get M2V video file, AC3 audio file(s) and probably SUP subpicture file(s). Open up IFO Edit, open VTS_01_1.IFO you'd got with DVD Shrink, open VTS_PGCITI section, select VTS_PGC_1 and do Tools -> Save Celltimes to file - it will save a chapter information.
Then prepare your audio stream and convert it to AC3 format.
Not you're ready to put everything together. Open ReJig, go to DVD Author mode. Load your M2V file, AC3 audio file(s), SUP file(s). Load chapter information from a file created by IFO Edit in a Scene changes / Chapters section. Specify the Destination directory and click Create button - and you can have a cup of coffe, cause ReJig is a pretty slow program.
While ReJig is running, I tell you something. You can put it together with IFO Edit that works much more faster and intelligent than ReJig - but it does not work correct with NTSC video, and after discovery I did not find a way to fix this, that's why I recomment ReJig. Not than this program is not very stable and may crush at any time - so try to do it again, it worked some times with me.
After ReJig is done with its work, you get a set of IFO/BUP/VOB files. For some reason, ReJig does a good work with VOBs, but not that good with IFOs. Throw IFOs away and run IFO Edit. Click Create IFOs button, load your first VOB (VTS_01_1.VOB), select Create 1 PGC Only and Create Chapter for each Cell, click Destination directory - Same as source - and you may click Ok button and have more coffe while IFO Edit is running.
When IFO Edit is done, click Get VTS sectors to fix something. Then open VTS_01_1.IFO created by DVD Shrink, open VTS_PGCITI section, select VTS_PGC_1 and do Subtitle Color -> Copy Colors from this PGC, select your newly created VTS_01_1.IFO, open VTS_PGCITI section, select VTS_PGC_1 and do do Subtitle Color -> Paste Colors into this PGC. Then in both newly created VTS_01_1.IFO and VIDEO_TS.IFO correct the languages for audio/subtitle streams by double-clicking - IFO Edit cannot set if correct. Then save both files.... and you've cool!
Now you've got a fully correct set of VOB/IFO/BUP files. If the size does not exceed 4,484 MB - you can burn them. If does, open my favorite DVD Shrink, load the directory with your files and cut titles/credits at the start/end of the movie or/and shrink the video - DVD Shrink allows you to do all of these actions. As the result you'll get a set of files you may burn on DVD - it will work.
