As the subject of this post says, I'd like to extract an AC3 5.1 from a VOB files. Edit it (create a fade-out at the end). Then "Re-create" (remux?) the VOB file with the edited AC3 track.
If this is possible, what softwares (preferably cheap or freeware :D) would I need to achieve this?
Could an expert guide me through the process? :)
Sorry, i am no expert and haven't tried it, but do recommend you get your hands on Pinnacle Studio 8 as im aware it has a lot of editing functions available. Try the trial version first and see if you like it before buying....
Sorry i cant really help you. Out of curiosity, wwhy do you wish to do this?
Here is the "why":
I use DVD Shrink fairly regularly, especially when cropping the end-credits of a movie-only backup enables me to use little or no compression (by the way, have you checked DVD Shrink v2.2? It's well worth a try)
The only problem with cropping the credits is that the music tends to finish fairly abruptly , to say the least.
So I thought it might be worth investigating into the possibility to fade it out.
And I would surely learn something useful in the process. ;)
I usually just let the audio 'Chop' :-) but perhaps you can use 'ac3 delay corrector' to adjust any delays in the audio stream, then use SonicFoundry's 5.1 surround pack to add the fades:
ddlooping: I have noticed that problem with the music finishing abruptly. I've downloaded the new version of DVD Shrink and im gonna give it ago as soon as the 200 DVD's i ordered arrive.
