Editing and reauthoring

rylon · 12th September 2006, 12:50

What I need to do is reauthor the Wizard of Oz with an additional soundtrack. Rumor has it that Pink Floyd wrote the album The Dark Side of the Moon as an alternate sound track to the movie The Wizard of Oz.

Sounds simple enough but it gets a lil more complicated, the movie was reauthored and about four and a half seconds were added during the munchkin land scene. So what I would like to be able to do is rip the movie from DVD, remove the approx. 4.5 seconds from the appropriate spots and add an aditional audio track which I have as MP3. If time and patients permit I would like to add additional options to the title menu for different sound tracks, as there are several variations on the rumor.

Any help as to how this should be done would help greatly because right now I am quite stuck.

Thanks in advance

why not add 4.5 sec of silent audio to the audio file and then mux it

That would be a viable option, and it sounds like it wouldn't be that difficult. What program mux's audio and video?

I would also like to add aditional audio tracks, remove some scenes that were added for the 50th anniv. DVD edition and possible create my own very dumbed down menu allowing the user to select different audio configs. Any other ideas?

Use "PGC Demux" to demultiplex the movie. Mux your video, audio and subtitles using "Muxman". And the user VobBlankers replace pgc to replace the orignal movie.

Thanks tahir, I'll give that a try this weekend, wish me luck!

I would still like to try and attempt a menu of some sort, with audio options and the appropriate content removed from the original, so if any one knows of any programs that would help (and if there are any tutorials about said programs) I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

So I've got it all figured out, got ahold of a copy of Ulead Video Studio and it did the trick. Thanks for all the help guys.

Good deal! Twist something up, turn down the lights and the system up. Dark Side of Oz...

just out of curiosity:

1. when do you press play (and how do you manage the needle-drop not exactly being frame accurate?)

2. how do you handle the record flip between "great gig in the sky" and "money"? there's a pretty long gap there, but flipping a record and starting it again takes a little time.

btw, you should get the quad (or possibly better, the SACD version in 6 channel) and make a multichannel mix

i've got the SQ matrixed quad version of it, and there's tools that can decode it to 5.1 pretty well (pro logic II ~= SQ quad + centre and sub)
