View Full Version : Getting two PGCs back together in one VOB after muxing AC3

I have a problem with a re-author DVD I'm trying to make. This is a DVD from Japan, but the company was stupid and used linear PCM audio, which takes up about 900MB of the DVD, but they probably purposely made the bitrate just high enough so the video and audio would cause the disc to be dual layered, to prevent copying?

Basically, the original disc is 5 VOB files and PGCs are together. I decrypted using DVD Decrypter's IFO mode and split them. I handled them separately in VobEdit. I converted their audio to wave (when I was decrypting in DVD Decrypter), and encoded to AC3 with Sound Forge, and then put them back together with the cell times and authoring feature in IfoEdit. Now I want them back together in single VOB set like the original, and then I will shrink with DVD Rebuilder, and the video quality will be a lot better because of AC3 audio instead of the 900MB of PCM.

So if anyone knows how, because right now the menus don't lead to the right spot at all, and I guess either they need to be put back together manually or sectors need to be updated, but sector updating in IfoEdit is not working.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can do it easily with Vobblanker replace function.

But, for demuxing, be careful with VobEdit. Because it does not look into the IFOs, changes in VOBids produce subpicture files (*.sup) not valid for remuxing. If you experience this problem, try pgcDemux instead VobEdit.

Thanks so much! Your program is amazing! I decrypted the DVD in file mode and replaced the PGCs with what I had re-muxed. It worked perfect and even updated the IFO to have AC3 instead of PCM.
