Changing VOB file audio track order

[mmdmmd]

Hi all,

I have lots of small VOB files with 2 audio tracks. Is there anyway I can change the default playing track order? I know I can demux them and rebuild the VOB files. But this will take a long long time as I am dealing with quite a lot of files.

Is there a program that I can use to simply change the audio track's playing order?

(BTW I've tried DVDFAB's blue arrow method. It doesn't work.)

Thank you very much in advance.

This was answered to. Hint: PGCedit.

Except that PGCEdit opens DVDs and not individual VOB files.

As far as I know, what he's asking can't be done, not without making DVDs out of them and then playing them as DVDs, not as VOBs.

Hi!

Almost a year to the day since you last asked a very similar question - and you still haven't resolved your problem?

Are all of the "small VOB files with 2 audio tracks" part of the same original video (Presumably a DVD)? If so, what is the Title and Region number of your original DVD?

If not, you'll have to individually demux, re-order, and then remux each one individually...

I thought these VOBs are part of a DVD (or a DVD compilation).

Anycase, the OP can use IfoEdit to create IFOs based on each VOB, as you suggested, then open them in PGCedit.

Or, as previous suggested, demux/remux.

Wow, it has been almost a year already ^^

Yeah, I had this problem for many years now. And I haven't stop looking for a solution.

Here is how I got those files.

A concert dvd that has 2 audio tracks on them. Each song in the concert is spilt into chapters inside the dvd structure so I can rip each of them out into a single file using DVDfab or something similar.

But I would like to change the audio track order. The only method I can use is rip out both audio tracks. Then rebuild the vob file using a dvd author program.

This gets very tedious when you have many live concerts you wanna rip.

Thanks for the reply. But the vob file are by themselves. This is because I am ripping each songs out as a single file. I delete the other files and keep only the vob.

I delete the other files and keep only the vob. Don't do that! Re-rip to get the IFOs.

Dumb idea.

You don't even have to decrypt the individual songs. You just put the entire DVD onto the hard drive and then use PGCEdit to make a different audio track the default:
This method allows you to jump to any menu or title on insertion of your DVD, setting the audio and subtitle streams of your choice and by-passing anything in your way (e.g. annoying FBI warnings, studio promos and Dolby Digital trailers) and having all the DVD's internal registers set exactly as they would be if the commands followed the original path.

A song is not a multiaudio clip, is it? I mean it would be at least curious to hear Madonna dubbed in Chinese as the second audio track :p

So, just use any ripper, set it to split the video at chapter points (which I assume represent the individual tracks/songs) either as VOBs or as MPGs or as elementary streams (.M2V, .MPA, .MPV, .AC3, .MP2 etc.) - depending on your authoring software. The ripper allows you to select which streams you want to keep/remove (check for "stream processing" or similar). You don't need any stream change since you have only one audio.
