Hi folks,
just a simple question: I'm using DVD2SVCD to extract the viode and audio streams from DVD's to author my own DVD-R's with Maestro. However, I have a movie of a size that can already be fitted in a 4.7Gb media, stripping all extras and other stuff I'm not interested in.
Since DVD2SVCD is THE tool to encode to mpeg, I was wondering if I can use it to extract the audio tracks WITHOUT re-encoding the video. In this way, I'd like it to simply output the audios and the video without further manipualtions. is it possible? And if yes, how can I do that?
Thanks...

Not it cannot be done with DVD2SVCD.

Use DVDDecrypter and enable stream processing.

I find the easiest way to do what you want would be to use IfoEdit and strip off anything you don't want. There is no reason to use a DVD authoring program like Maestro for what you want.

Check out the IfoEdit guides and the IfoEdit forum.

Uhm... let's see. I want to use an authoring program (Maestro) becase I want to use my own menus, etc. And concerning DVDecrypter, I can use it to strip the streams I want, but then I'll have a bunch of .mpv files (one for each VOB) which I'll have to merge together, What would be then the best choice for doing that? Filemerge?

In any case this is not possible with DVD2SVCD.
Post in the DVD authoring forum where it is now obvious your question belongs.

Since this no longer has anything to do with DVD2SVCD I will close this thread.
