creating a 5 title disk from 5 M2Vs using the same AC3

[CirTap]

Hi DVD Authors,

this is what I have:
foobar.AC3 / or foobar.MP2 (from handmade WAV made in Cubase)
foobar_01.m2v to foobar_05.m2v (handmade clips via Premiere, AviSynth + encoded with nice HC)
This is want I'd like to achieve (and partially solved):
multiplex the 5 different *.M2V "clips" with the same A3C "soundtrack" and put them as 5 separate titles on a DVD - not as chapters because each title should have it's own set of chapters.
In other words: have 5 different movies with the same music.

Primary problem: I have not found a tool to multiplex the audio and video into the single plain vanilla "foobar_xx.MPEG" files which I could then use to create a DVD with 5 titles.
Yes, I searched for this, but that results are end-/useless: basically half of the posting here contain the words MPEG/M2V, AC3, stream, mu[ltiple]x or DVD -- and I always end up with information on how to remove extras, subs, vobs, ...

I scanned my whole collection of apps and tools but each seems to "fail" in one step and breaks the workflow: :confused:
with VDub/AviSynth to have video and audio in one file I get AVIs (which was what I started with), but I can't use them in IfoEdit||MuxMan or any DVD "creator" (transcoder)
though I can demux them to get the files I have now, and then run IfoEdit||MuxMan. Both allow me to re-join the formerly separated files but they only create a single title set: so I end up with "5 DVDs", each 15 mins long :)
SVCD2DVD (for instance) or the Fancy Toy that came bundled with my laptop don't load VOBs :(
the "Video Editors" I own create either bad loocking MPEG-1 or QuickTime or AVIs ... :mad:
any of the "rebuilder/reauthor" tools happen to be suitable for removing stuff from a ripped DVD rather than adding more to make a new one ;-)
Finally I ended up using "DVD Shrink" :sly: to "reauthor" the five VTS_01_1.VOBs from MuxMan and let it create a new 5 title-set DVD on my drive.
Is this the way to go?
I have no clue about the relation ship of IFO and VOB. :scared: Can I just "rename" the VOBs and matching IFOs created from MuxMan? I somehow doubt it.

Any hints on how I could "simplify" this process?

Thanks in advance.

Have fun,
CirTap

.. now I need to add a menu ... somehow -- later.

Make 5 movies in DVDLab.
Insert one each of the .m2v's into each movie.
Insert the ac3 into each movie.
Make a menu, compile, burn.
No need to remux into mpg.

reboot,

thanks, I downloaded DVDlab 1.31 (http://www.mediachance.com/dvdlab/) and see if it worx for me. I always thought this was from the Aist Magic-Whatever-Maker collection so I never consider to try it. -- Glad to see it's not ;) Looks good

I'll now go and meet this "Mexican dude" now, find out what he's got to tell me.
I just quick-scanned the introduction and found only one audiotrack visible in the movie window. Now before I go and hunt Manual and dig into the long list of Tips and Tricks online: do you know if I can have multiple audio streams (de/en/fr), too?

Thanx,

CirTap

The Pro version has multiple audio and subs tracks, selectable.

Hi,

don't think the download demo/shareware version is DVDlab pro, but I found it in Tools->IFO Editor Audio.
Looks like it's done after the DVD is compiled by changing the IFO files? I'll see.

Nice app :-)

Thanks for the tip and the additional link. I'll check it out.

Have fun,
