Hello...
I'm wanting to take a dvd, edit the dialog (cut cussing) of the 5.1 audio, and put it all back together on a new dvd-r.
Currently, I've used dvd decrypter to rip the movie as one vob. I'm currently using BeSweet to pull the 5.1 audio from the vob and convert to ac3 (I guess it will do 1 5.1 channel ac3 file, but I think I'd actually prefer a seperate wav for each channel). I haven't gotten any further than this, as the audio is currently converting. I have Adobe Audition (wav editor). Can I use this to silence the cussing? Am I going about this the wrong way? What program can I use to put everything back together (I have Tmpg Dvd Author).
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Since Audition cannot edit ac3 files, you should convert your 5.1 to 6 wav files. Than you should import the 6 files in a multitrack session, edit them and then reput them together to obtain a 5.1 ac3 (I'm not sure, but I think you can do these conversions with BeSweet).
If it is a movie only DVD, IFOEdit will be enough to put things together again (provided you create a chapter text file to keep the chapter points). If you have a menu, have a look at this guide (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=70675) of mine. ;)

The biggest problem that I'm having, right now, is figuring out how to get those six wav's onto my hard drive. The closest thing that I've found is using BeSweet with the BeSure gui to rip as a dts-cd, but those wavs are 44100khz instead of 48000khz. I think it would be unwise to downsample and then upsample back to dvd. If there is something that can take the one ac3 file and split it into the six wavs, then I would be right on track.

I figured out how to do it with BeSweet. I used BeSweet Gui to get the command line and then edited the command line. I just tested the wavs and they are 48000 and the center is all dialog, etc...
"C:\Program Files\BeSweetv1.5b29\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "g:\POOLHALL_JUNKIES\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB" -output "g:\POOLHALL_JUNKIES" -substream 0x80 -6ch -logfile "C:\Program Files\BeSweetGUIv0.7b4\BeSweet.log" )
I assume that you could leave out the logfile part, if you wanted.
Next is to edit the dialog, get it back to ac3, and figure out how to put it all back together.
