Source A:
NTSC, R0 DVD9
Audio: AC3 DD5.1
Movie: 2 hours
Subtitles: English
Source B: (extended version of Source A)
NTSC, R0 DVD9
Audio: AC3 DD5.1 & 2CH AC3
Movie: 2 hours 30 minutes
Subtitles: Multi-Subs
-------------------
B has about 30 minutes of extra material put in at various places...ie, extended scene, deleted scene. basically a director's cut.
NOW...B has a problem. Audio is not synched properly in many sections - basically almost 90% of the movie.
My project: I want to remake my own DVD9 via Manual CCE using sections of A, with all the additional material from B...why? Because Source A has SUPERIOR video quality. Source B also suffers from blocking issues....but I can deal with the 30 extra minutes of this garbage and try to do some stuff via AviSynth filters and all that.
My question to you professionals...what is the suggested way to do this...
In MY mind...I'm thinking of extracting video & audio from both DVD9s. Then I need to find the starting & ending frames from B & need to cut those portions out; along with the required audio...since there is an audio delay of maybe up to 500ms, I'm guessing I have to cut out EXTRA audio from B and then synch it later.
As an example for the total video needed to encode in CCE, I show you this.
[AAAAAAAAAA][BB][AAAAAAAAAAA][BBBB][AAAAAAAA][B]
If you see above we have 6 sections that amount to the total movie. I normally use lagarith encodes that I feed into CCE to process my mpv files...then later m2v via DGPulldown. I know how to process the lag files individually and then join the pieces in a separate AVS file that I can feed into CCE software (SP2)...this will result (hopefully) in one nice mpv file of the whole movie that I need.
However...NOW comes the problem with the subtitles & audio...how do I manage synching this properly?
Also obviously, I'm using the Menus from B, Celltimes.txt & subtitles as well...so I can then mux later on via MuxMan.
Perhaps I'm looking for a software that will allow me to do this:
[-----------M2V FILE --------------]
[Audio A ][Audio B][Audio A ][ B]
[ssssssssubttttttttttilessssssssssssss]
Line all the 3 files up, and then adjust certain sections (like audio & subtitles) individually to synch them properly....Is this possible at all before or after muxing my 3 files above to DVD9 files?
As for Celltimes.txt - that MIGHT also be a problem with getting the right chapter points...but I can deal with that myself.
Appreciate any & all help.
