I have a DVD of old home movies. Using a microphone to add an audio track, I added narration of my Mom explaining the scenes, identifying family members, etc. Not until after I had all this packaged did I realize I had four seconds of nasty feedback in one of the eight VOB files. I have been able to demux the offending VOB file into m2v and ac3 files. I have split the ac3 file into component WAV files. I have edited the WAV file to replace the four seconds with silence. Now I have been trying (for quite a while) to re-assemble the VOB and make a working DVD again.

Does anyone know how to edit just the audio of a VOB file and "remux" the VOB file?

Thanks,
John

If all you need is to edit an existing audio track, I would follow the K.I.S.S. principle. Download a audio player from the AD software tab; http://www.afterdawn.com/software/audio_software/audio_players/
play your audio through the system mixer while re-recording on your existing recorder. Since you used a microphone anyway, you will surely not notice any sound degradation.
This is just one way...

Actually I was successful in extracting the offending audio track from the DVD VOB file and editing it. The problem now lies in trying to re-assemble the VOB and the DVD back into a playable disc.

Way over my head. We're all newbies here one way or another-always something to learn. I believe that involves decompiling the binary stream, editing, and reassembling. Tell you what, if you find there is a way to actually do that, please let me know-you can send me a private message.
Me? I'd just re-record the sucker, pressing stop and start at the appropriate moments, like I mentioned earlier.

I really don't think it's possible. All DVD audio files are muxed into the VOB (as you know), and it would take re-authoring to put something 'new' into the dvd. As Blessedon said, we all have something new to learn, and maybe there is something out there that could do that, but I've not learned of that capability yet....

Thanks Blessedon and dog3y3. I guess I will just bite the bullet and re-record it.
