Program to edit VOBs with ac3 5.1 audio

[imel6]

Is there a program that can edit vobs with 5.1 channel audio with frame accuracy? The womble stuff will do it but not accurately (will not keep the sync). Any help is appreciated.

anyone?

TMPGEnc DVD Author can cut with frame (I-frame) accuracy and retain 6ch AC3 in sync.
I tried it with version 1.5.19.59- I cannot tell you about earlier versions.


I also tried doing it with VirtDubMod but you will have to re-encode video (I used CCE).

So the procedure is as follows:
1. Demux your video file and AC3.
2. Then frameserve video via Avisynth (and apply any filtering if necessary).
3. Load your AVS script into VirDubMod and then add your AC3 into stream list. Set interweave to every frame and compensate for the delay if necessary. Also set your AC3 file to be active and set it as 1st stream.
4. Now do all your cuts and editing.
5. You will have to use demux option for demuxing AC3 stream. It will be demuxed in it's edited form.
6. You can now frameserve video via VirDubMod frameserver (vdr) directly into CCE. Or you can use vcf2avs_gui to create a script that retains all of the cuts you did. After the avs script is generated you can load it directly into CCE. I prefer avisynth frameserving because it is faster and you can use a number of filters if you need them.
7. After the video is encoded you can mux resulting video file with AC3 in some DVD authoring program (any program will do).

This method is very acurate and more comfortable because you don't have to cut only on key frames and you can also keep full 6ch AC3 audio.

The problem is that you will have to extract subtitles from original and correct timings. Also when you cut in your video start from the end of the video because otherwise you will loose track of frame number because VirDub will recount after you cut.

Thanks, I wish there were something available that would allow us to edit with key frame accuracy mpeg2 5.1 audio tracks. Maybe someday...
