DVDLab and Merging Menus with IFOedit probs

[tomgofly]

After doing much research I have narrowed a problem with making DVDLab 1.4.1 menus and merging them to a reauthored movie with IFOedit 96b3. I need to do the merge menu process to keep the audio and chapters of the main movie (otherwise they get stripped by DVDLab of course).

I did this...

1) Ripped movie and reauthored movie only with DVDShrink 3.0b5.
2) Created menu with "dummy" movie (thanks 2cool, maa, and FarmerDan)
3) Copied menu's video_ts.vob and vts_01_0.vob to reauthored movie
4) Did a merge menu with IFOedit on video_ts.ifo and vts_01_0.ifo
5) Corrected first play commands.

Menu works ok, the "tables" are copied in exactly as advertised, but I lost the audio on the menus.

I look in IFOedit and the VTS_01_0.ifo - VTS overview - Menu Attributes only show a video attributes but no audio attributes like in the VTS_01_0.ifo of the DVDLab version. I can find no way to add audio attributes to the menu attributes section in IFOedit. Anything else I can try?

First of all - play your 0.VOB with Mplayer or something to see if there is sound.

If OK then open VTS_01_0.IFO / VTSI_MAT page down to :
"Number of audio streams in VTSM_VOBS" - should be "1"

Save

After that it should also be in the overview where you select the properties.

Worked perfectly! I had no idea it was going to be so simple.

Hummm, still didn't quite work... It just loses too many attributes of the menu when simply "merg menu". It does work for still menus without audio but was trying to get fancy with audio and transitions.

I think I did find a solution that I posted here...
