DVD Re-Authoring

[titvs]

Hi all.

It has been quite a while since my last post :) This mainly because i find everything in the forum.
But sometimes one get's lost in such quantity of information available :)
This time my little question is about something i'm starting with: DVD Authoring. What i want to do is to take a DVD backup and by some manner modify the menu structure like adding subtitles streams, removing audio streams, adding new menu branches, etc., and then burn it to a DVD+R with, for instance, Instant Copy.
There are quite a good few guides about this matter (like the one by Trilight) but the best would be a process to de-author the original files and create the corresponding DVD Maestro or Scenarist project and then edit it freely.
I really dont think this is possible. The only way i see is to de-multiplex all the media (including, video, audio, stills, subs) and then re-author the whole DVD structure from scratch. As you can see, this is extremely time consuming.
If anyone has some ideas about this subject i would like to ear about them :)

Thanks in advance for your attention

Thats why DoItFast4u was created. DownLoad it and enjoy. It does about 90% of what you asked for automatically. The menu additions, you will have to add yourself. Enjoy.

Thanks VidHack. I'll try the program out and see what it can do :)

Thanks again.

Well, as far i can see from my afternoon of experiments :) DoItFast4U does an almost perfect job. But it lacks just one thing to avoid the long and tedious process of reconstructing the whole DVD menu structure from scratch: the instant creation of the DVD Maestro or Scenarist project file :p With that, it would be perfect ;) From that, it would be very easy to add/remove/edit everything to one's pleasure. :D
But still, its a good tool to edit DVD's and a good start point to the Re-Authoring process.
If anyone has a better way to do what i'm asking here, let me and everyone interested know :)

Thank you

As far as creating the scenarist stuff is concerned, do a search on Reauthorist here, I think you'll like what you will find.
