I have a movie that has quite a bad release history - there have been only chopped up releases since recently. The full original audio track is only available on VHS cassette, for the DVD release they sliced together different languages with subs added at every language switch.
So the VHS sound (bad quality) has to be spliced into the DVD audio (good quality) at the appropriate places. The question is - which audio editing tool would you recommend?
Preferrably it should be able to handle ordinary stereo-WAV without conversion for quality and super-accurate cutting, and ideally you should be able to view, navigate and zoom both streams in the same window in waveform view.
Have you ever done that? Please share your tips.

Hi!for the DVD release they sliced together different languages with subs added at every language switch.Not sure I understand you. Are you saying different languages were used in the audio when, for example, the language should have been English?

What is the Title and Region of the DVD?

In addition, you should have already built 2-3 18000 piece jigsaw puzzles and 4 or more Ships in a Bottle to prepare yourself for the anguish.:D
