Hi, all. I tried making a DVD from a couple *.mov (MPEG-4) files with Devede, and it worked great! Unfortunately, the audio from the original files is a little flaky, so I wanted to dynamically compress it. To accomplish this task in Windows, I'd extract the audio from the *.mov (MPEG-4) files, compress it, then recombine the original video with the new audio during the DVD (MPEG-2) encoding process. In Ubuntu, however, I have no idea how to do this.
So, let's recap:
1. How do I extract *.wav audio from a *.mov (MPEG-4) file in Ubuntu? <--this question is the most important
2. Is it possible to reincorporate a *.wav audio source into a *.mov (MPEG-4) file without re-encoding the video? If so, how?
3. If not, what's an alternative to Devede which allows me to author low-bitrate DVDs out of separate audio and video files?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Ben,
I'm sorry it hurts you to talk to me, I'll keep it brief :-b. Avidemux should theoretically do what you want, if it will open your .movs you can use it to convert to MPEG-2 and filter your Audio all at the same time. I actually use Virtualbox in Gutsy with a XP install for this kind of thing myself. Linux is phenomenal but IMHO it has a long way to go to handle the kinds of tasks you're talking about as well as Windows.My Site: http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html

Code:mencoder movie.mov -ovc copy -oac pcm -o movie.pcm.mov
To extract the audio file to wav format
Code:mplayer yourmovie.mov -vo null -vc null -ao pcm:fast
You can then take this wav file and edit it with SoX, Audacity, Gnome Wave Cleaner, Sweep, ReZound, or what ever you choose. Then encode to ac3 with ffmpeg or aften.
Code:ffmpeg -i audio.wav -ab 224k -ar 48000 -ac 2 -acodec ac3 audio.ac3
Code:aften -b 192 audio.wav audio.ac3
#3 - Most will only take m2v + ac3/wav/mp2 or mpg files, not many are all in one apps like DeVeDe
DVDStyler
QDVDAuthor
tovid (check ToDisc, neat fading motion menus)
and about 100 others.
MuxMan works just fine through Wine, as does TMPGenc, HCEnc, avisynth, and the DG* programs.
