How to re-author a DTS only DVD Concert

Hi,

I make Music DVD Compilations using VideoReDo with great Results.
I load the DVD, select the Chapters I want, save Chapters as Mpeg, Join the Chapters and Author it. Great Program.

But I was trying to work with a DTS Only Concert, and VideoReDo does not work with DTS.

I am loking for a Program that extract Clips from a DVD (DTS) and also Convert to AC3 and save as Mpeg.
DVD Shrink do this, but re-author to Vob Files, and I really do not know if Vob Files are Better or worse than Mpeg files.

Any help will be wellcome.

I've never heard of a DVd with only DTS. What's the name of this DVD?

 

Try demuxing the DVD with 'Rejig' (use IFO mode).

Convert the demuxed DTS stream to ac3 with 'DaudioK'

Use rejig to mux everything together again (Author Mode) using the new ac3 as the audio part.

Hi,

Thank you.

The DTS Only Concerts are from Queen (All of them) (There is a 2ch option too).

Thanks again.

Antonio

 

The 2ch audio is most likely LPCM which is uncompressed audio.

 

Hi,

Thank you Attar, worked well.

I have two more questions.

1) Does Rejig convert PAL to NTSC (The Queen COncert is PAL)
2) When Muxing, how to create Mepg files instead of DVD Files.

Thanks again

Antonio

 

Rejig doesn't convert between PAL/NTSC.

If you want to go from PAL to NTSC (after demuxing the original DVD with Rejig), run DGPulldown on the .m2v (choose 25 -> 29.97fps).

Use ImagoMPEG to mux the new .m2v and the .ac3 to mpeg.

Hi Attar,

Thanks Again. Great little programs!!!

But I have one more problem. VideoReDo needs the mpeg Files be in the same characteristics (720 x 480)

How o re-size these demuxed Mpeg's ??

You can also recemend convert programs that work with muxed files too! (By the way, what are the advantages to process demuxed files??)

Thanks

Antonio

 

I'm not familiar with Videoredo.
Try DVDPatcher on the mpeg file.
Load a copy of the muxed mpeg2 into the patch program; set 720, 480, 29.97 then play back the result and see if Videoredo is fooled.

Hi,

It did work.
Do I use DVDPatcher for all Conversion, or continue to use DGPulldown.

Anyway, thank you for your usefull info.

@alts01
I don't know the answer to that one - I never got as deep into it as yourself.

 

Do note that to play on non-DTS enabled DVD players/receivers/TV's 2 channel LPCM will be provided. Also note that the LPCM soundtrack will be of the very highest quality.

 

Hi,

Ok, but it is not 5.1, which for me is required.

Thanks

Antonio
