HAD THIS IN WRONG SECTION MY APOLOGIES FOR DOUBLE ENTRY I AM TRYING TO REMOVE ORIGINAL NOW

Hi
Making a backup of one of my owned faavourite films - Close Encounters - I am trying to insert all the deleted scenes to make it a complete movie

i am UK member and using PAL versions
My problem starts immediately when i view the edit screen - widescreen with border top and bottom about 33% of height of screen is black border-720x576. The deleted scenes have almost 50% height black border.
Using tmpgeng when i try to crop this to suit I loose the audio - I think. Well it says no audo present
On rebuild I cannot maintain anyn audio other than 2 channel stereo
I am using
tmpgnc v3
dvd author
dvd shrink
dvd decrypter
Any advice greatly appreciated

regards

You are missing one tool.. have a look at Avidemux

It allows you to resize the video, change formats and framerate..audio codecs and more.. and basic join/cut editing.. bonus for such a good tool.. it's free

This is an interesting challenge, and one I thought about taking on myself (with Blazing Saddles) just to see if I could do it. Ultimately I abandoned it because I didn't have the time.

Your audio problem is fairly easy to explain but a little more complicated to fix. The deleted scenes probably have only 2 channel audio, and an audio stream must have the same number of channels and bitrate throughout. Joining a 5 or 5.1 channel audio stream to a 2 channel stream isn't possible. That means you either have to settle for 2 channel or decode and re-encode into 5 or 5.1 channel AC3 audio to join it to the other title.

There are other ways to do it, but they're much more complicated.
