Womble to edit out adverts - odd audio ?

[bahjan]

Hi,

My question is simple: I taped a show to a RW DVD on a standalone recorder. I saved all files including ifo's bup to hard drive and used Womble VCR Editor to cut out the adverts. I built, then burned the edited & saved ifo/bup/vobs into an iso using Imgburn - but when I tried to play on a standalone DVD player I recorded from, the audio seemed out of sync with the video. It would play okay on my computer.
Did I miss a step? I thought editing with Womble would edit the audio at the same time.
The only thing I didn't do was rebuild the ifo/bup from the edited vob files with ifoedit. I used the originals I'd saved from the RW disk. I'm a bit puzzled as I've used Womble to edit before without any problems........

Exactly which Womble product are we talking about. MPEGVCR does not "build" anything, it just cuts.

Sorry, I created my original RW recording on a standalone DVD player/recorder and then edited on a computer system. I meant I tried to playback my edited and newly burned DVD-R on the same stand alone DVD player as I had created the original unedited DVD RW.

Just trying to play disk again - there is video but no audio at the beginning - if I go to next chapter there is audio but no movement on video counter, just a still image. (Don't get that one at all.....). Either I've used a bad disk, or something was just odd with the 'save' I did in the Womble edit. I'll try processing edited mpeg with Flick v.6 and report back.

I used Womble MPGVCR only to edit. To build/ burn an iso I used Imgburn - for this I used my newly saved edited mpegs (which I saved as .vob) and the previously unaltered saved ifo/bup files & Video_TS from the original R/W disk.

You will probably have better luck if your process is more like this. Edit your original VOB's in Womble and save as a new MPEG2 file. Use a DVD authoring program such as DVDAuthorGUI to re-author the MPEG file into a new VIDEO_TS folder. Use ImgBurn to burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a new DVD and to create an ISO image file if desired. Using the original IFO and BUP files is probably causing your problems.

SOLVED (kind of): Thanks for your suggestions. Didn't answer the original query still don't understand why merely snipping ads caused a problem with the disk playing back but here's what I did as a work round:

1. Processed edited vobs again with Womble MPEGVCR this time using join facility to create one large .mpg file VTS_01.1.mpg

2. Ran this .mpeg through Simple DVD Creator - saving result to H/D as file with AUDIO_TS & VIDEO_TS

3. Created an iso by loading VIDEO_TS file into Imgburn (build mode) and used 'burn' mode to create DVD.

This one plays fine on my standalone player- this method was fine for me as I didn't need menus.

I tried Flick 1.3.0.5. with 'copy mpeg-2 streams' ticked, but is seemed to ignore that and encode as normal. It was taking ages, so I aborted and followed steps 1-3 above. Might try build 1.3.0.6. and see if mpeg-2 copy works.

I found the resulting disk plays on the standalone player I used to create original files, (Liteon) but not on a standalone cheapie Tevion - might be it objects to the disk, but it's a Ridisk (MMC02G20) which as far as I know is a quite good disk.

UPDATE: DVD Flick build 1.3.0.6. with ' copy MPeg2 streams' & 'copy timestamps' enabled produced a dvd playable on a standalone, so you could just feed in vobs to it merging if necessary or put in the 1 large mpeg2 from MPGVCR if you use it... I don't know why the Flick 1.3.0.5. build had a bug whereby 'copy mpeg2' was ignored.......
