I would like to know how to stip audio from a dvd movie for editing. What software is needed and any guides available. What I want to do is edit out profanity. Thanks in advance
1 VOBEDIT- Demux VOB to m2v and ac3 2 PX3- Convert AC3 to WAV 3 Audacity- Load wav and adjust audio and output New WAV 4 FFMPEGGui- Convert New WAV to New AC3 5-MUXMAN- Mux m2v with New AC3 into New VOB (a New VOB folder with all the required files is created) vobedit http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/showsoftware_vobedit_254.html Run VobEdit > 'Open', select VTS_01_1.VOB (the first large VOB of the title, the rest will come in at the same time). Demux > select 'All Video and Audio'. The files will be saved as an .m2v and an ac3. px3 ac3 to wav http://www.videohelp.com/tools/PX3_AC3_to_WAV Load the ac3 and select an output name eg ac3.wav Audacity http://superb-east.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/audacity/audacity-win-1.2.6.exe Drag or load the wav. Highlight the naughty part and select 'Effects'. Fade out or silence etc. Export the file as 'new.wav' ffmpeggui http://download2.videohelp.com/download/ffmpeggui03c.zip Load new.wav and save as new.ac3 muxman http://www.mpucoder.com/Muxman/versions.shtml Load the video .m2v and the new audio new.ac3 It will output a new DVD folder - note there will be no menu.
OK, true to newbieism I did something wrong. I was able to edit the audio like I wanted to and remux but the video was way out of sync with the audio. I opened the finished video with shrink and that worked well but like I said the audio was way out of sync.
I have the main movie files ripped to my hd using dvdfab decrypter and have been using those files to do this. Could that be a problem?
Check the length of the video with the likes of WMP (File > Properties), then check the length of each audio file from each step. When you use 'Audacity', take care to beep or silence - not remove - the audio, to ensure it stays the same length.
