Replacing video in a DVD rip?

[lemmy999]

I have a DVD with menus that contain 3 25 minute titles and one 22 minute title. I am wanting to rip this DVD, then replace the 22 minute video with a 25 minute video. The audio will remain the same and so will the video resolution. I do not mind chapters being in the wrong place, or totally gone. I just want to keep the menus and replace one title with another that is slightly longer. I was thinking that I would be able to do this with IFOEdit, but I have been unable to figure out a way to do this, and I can't find any kind of guide.

VobBlanker 2.0.0.2 can do this.

I don't know if a guide exists, but its rather straight forward.

You will need the authored dvd and the video you want to put in to switch also needs to be put into vob format. Then select the the 22 minute title in VobBlanker and click the replace button. It will prompt you for the location of the new file. You would select the location of the 25 minute vob.

Open IFO for video -> Movie Only -> Remux m2v

I thought that would only replace the video, not the audio. Since I am trying to replace a 22 minutes of video and audio with 25 minutes of completely different video and audio I didn't think that would work. I thought it would only replace the video and the original audio would still be there (or I could remove the audio with the "strip streams" option and have no audio).

Thats right, that would replace the video only. It also won't work because the two videos are not the same length.

VobBlanker is the easiest way to do it plus it has this feature built in.

That IfoEdit function is really meant for transcoding. In the old days, before DVD Shrink and other such tools, you would have to use IfoEdit to demux the m2v then transcode with ReStream (remember that tool, brings back memories) and then use IfoEdit to remux m2v.

Sorry if you had prob., & hope you've got it fixed by now :)

Unsure what you mean -- sorry. Muxing in new video should leave everything else alone pretty much, which I thought you were after:
"...replace the 22 minute video with a 25 minute video. The audio will remain the same"

IMO you're probably right. :)

"It also won't work because the two videos are not the same length."

:confused: Why?
I admit it's been a while :), so gave it a quick spin this am... Seemed to work as well as Ifoedit always worked, as well as expected. I've never been a huge fan of Ifoedit for many tasks since (for me anyway) has a habit of occassionally muddling with menus, & was muxing in wrong length video.

If interested, grabbed an mpg file, cut it at about 4 min, added it to orig., then de-muxed the whole thing. Opened the video ifo file in Ifoedit, muxed in the new m2v. Menu was mucked up -- if I remember correctly not unusual -- but got that fixed quick enough. ;)
