Goldmember DVD Backup

[e.motion]

Hello to all,

I've got this Austin Powers in Goldmember franch DVD I would like to make a backup of on one DVD. I usually have DVD Shrink do my backups but Goldmember is seamless branched in one section of the movie where there are subtitles for a conversation in Japanese. Those subtitles are integrated in the picture so there is a french movie (audio and subs are in french) and an english movie (audio and subs are in english).

This thread http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60108 gives some explanation for the german version of the DVD. I must say the technique explained there is far too complicated for me so I thought about another way of putting only 1 video stream with the 2 audio streams on my backup:

1/ demux the french audio from the french movie
2/ integrate this audio stream in the english movie along with the english audio stream
3/ edit the ifo so it sees the 2 streams

Would this method work, and if yes, how could I accomplish it and with which software?

Thank you very much to anyone how could help me on this matter.

Are the French and English Titles the same length/time? If so, just demux the English movie's video stream (.m2v) and remux it into your French. Use IfoEdit's m2v remuxing feature. ;)

[edit]hmmm...I must've read your post too quickly. Might not be the solution you want. I'll brainstorm again. Just wondering...is your movies in the same titlesets or different?

In fact there are 3 titles that are the exact same length: 1:30.40
-Title 27 movie (and FR subs in Japanese sceen) with French AC3 5.1
-Title 28 movie (and ENG subs in Japanese sceen) with English AC3 5.1
-Title 29 movie with director comments in AC3 2.0

All the movie is in VTS_06_1 to VTS_06_5. The menus are included in VTS_06_0.

I just want to keep the movie with the english audio and english subs in the japanese scene and add the french audio to it.

As there are 3 PGCs for the same video, I think the video is present only one time.

Using IfoEdit:

1) Open VTS_06_0.IFO in IfoEdit, and click on VTSI_MAT.
In the bottom pane, scroll down to offset [00000303] Number of audio streams in VTSTT_VOBS. You should see 3 (or more) here.
If it is not the case, then you're out of luck. The method explained here will not work.

2) Click on VTS_PGCITI and expand it (click in + sign)
You should see VTS_PCC_1, VTS_PGC_2 and VTS_PGC_3 (at least.)
Click on VTS_PGC_2.
In the bottom pane, scroll to offset [0000000c] Audio Stream 1 status. Note the number.

3) Do the same for VTS_PGC_3.

4) No, go to VTS_PCC_1, at offset [0000000e] (this is the 2nd. Audio Stream Status line). The audio stream status should be 0. Double click on the line, and type the number you noted at point 2.

5) Double-click on the next line (offset [00000010]), and type the number you noted at point 3.

6) Save.

7) Open the DVD with DVDShrink. You should now see one title (probably title 27) with 3 audio streams. Use this title in reauthoring mode, and strip the audio track you don't want to keep.


Same method, with PgcEdit:

1) Open the DVD. In the left pane, right-click on the "VTST 6, 1 ..." label, and select Domain Streams Attributes. You should see at least 3 audio streams. If it is not the case, you're out of luck.

2) Now, double-click on "VTST 6, 1 ...", and see the numbers in the buttons of the Audio Streams column. You should see at least one number, probably 0, in the first buttons.

3) Click on the first Audio button labelled 'none'. Enter 1.

4) Do the same for each audio stream upto, but NOT including, the total number of audio streams noted in point 1. You should have button 0=stream 0, button 1=stream 1, button2=stream 2, and maybe more.

5) Save.

6) DVDShrink (same as point 7 above)

Note: the same trick may be used for subpicture streams.

Good lord it worked!!

:thanks:

Thanks a lot Mr r0lZ! I've used your method for PgcEdit and in a matter of 2 clicks it was done. I must say I tried other ways this afternoon, but none worked of course. I tried to demux the video and audio streams with TMPGEnc and VobEdit but what I came out with was a movie that had alternatively (in a matter of .5 of a second) the french movie and the english movie and so on for the whole length of it...

Well, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! There's one thing one can be sure about these forums: the best are here and they are always helpful.
