Demuxing help

[shorton]

Hi guys:

I have a demo DVD I'm fixing up for myself and a friend who assembled it. It's about 25 short clips. I planned on demuxing the VOB's and then using Maestro, authoring the clips with chapter markers and a menu.

I ran into some VOB's that won't demux. I used dvddecrypter and set file length to none and decrypted the vob to my hard drive. I then used TMPGEnc mpeg tools to demux the VOB's. On a sample problem VOB, I have video, but no audio stream listed. I tried a default decrypt in file mode and instead of one VOB I got 5. In those 5, 4 reported as being audio streams, but none would open after demuxing.

Can someone help point me in the right direction? How can I demux this VOB so I can use it in Maestro as separate video and audio streams? Since it's demo I dont' want to decode and reencode the mpeg or ac3.

Thanks,
shorton

Have you tried just enabling stream processing in DVD Decrypter and using it to demux?

[shorton]

No, not specifically. But I will try. I'm not a decrypter expert, I tried the defaults, and then the way mentioned above. I'll see if I can figure out how to enable stream processing and see if it helps.

Thanks for the time to help, Scott

shorton,

You can also use VOBEDIT to open your VOB files and demux your video & audio streams.

sanjayk: Thanks, I'll give that a try, too. Help much appreciated. I'll report my progress back..

sanjayk:

Thanks! vobedit did it just fine. Looks like the problem was it had a DTS track. Demuxed perfectly with vobedit. Thanks again for the pointer. Much appreciated.

Cheers,
Scott

Followup for others seeking the solution in the future...

I had some issues with the ac3 files made by Vobedit. They wouldn't import to Maestro. See other thread "Media detection error" by me.

I used ReJig 0.5e and got the audio files out with it. I chose demux and the fix ac3 timecode option. The resulting files would import to Maestro AND had no lipsync error that I could see.

HTH,
Scott
