So here is what was intended: To keep the original dvd-structure, but to replace main movie (4:3 widescreen) with a new one (16:9 anamorphic widescreen) and keeping everything else on the dvd intact.

This is what i did:

1. Rip all files with DvdDecrypter.
2. Re-encode video with dvd2avi+tmpgenc-combination.
3. Re-author with Ifoedit, maintaining the original titleset structure.
4. replace the original movie with the newely encoded one using VobBlanker 1.6.0.3.

And the result:

The dvd works perfectly, except the only subtitles that will show on the screen are in english (0x20) plus they are now forced.

Makes my mind go boggles. Ideas, anyone? Did I miss anything?

edit: missed a step

How did you mux the new VOB? which program? Did you keep the stream index?

Oh yes, sorry I forgot.

I remuxed the titleset with Ifoedit, making an exact duplicate of the original. All the subtitles, chapterpoints, and all the audiotracks in their right places. All that was changed was the videostream.

Well, I believe you have to change the index, because you have changed the DAR

Look this example

So, in VTS_PGC I have to change "subpicture stream status" values to their correct correspondent places in all the subpictures there are present? (8 subpic languages/streams)

To copy/move the values from 4:3 into wide? Can it be this simple?

It is a 4 byte word

in the example ( -2147417600 , in hexa is 80010200). I've changed the pic in the previous post to show the hexa number
80 01 02 00

If you want to interchange the 4:3 with wide, you need
81 00 02 00
which in decimal is:
2164261376 or -2130705920

Any of the both values are ok for Ifoedit. Change the subpicture status with a double click on the row

Forgot to mention

You can do it easily (no hex calculations) with pgcEdit
