Need help splitting an mpeg2 file and 2 audio streams

[Syco54645]

here is the story:
just tonight i was working on a concert video. the audio on it was not the greatest so i put some other audio onto it (did all the time correction and stuff, and it didnt turn out too bad). well the concert is so long that it needs to be on two discs, but the file that i was working with was mpeg 2. i really do not want to reencode it, but i want to be able to just split it in half (and also split the audio files at exactly the same point. i did all of the work in vegas, but i have never been able to find a suitable splitter that will split the video and the audio files and not reencode the video.

any help would be greatly appreciated

One simple way would be to author it at it's current size, then use DVD Shrink in Re-author mode to split it into two disks. Just drag the video to the left-hand pane, right-click and you can se the start and end points. Do this once for the first half, then again for the second. Even easier if you have chapters set during authoring.

well granted that is a viable solution, i dont think that the online concert community would like that i did it with that method. i mean they accept no lossy audio, not even on dvds. i would think that there is a program that can do what i want, i just have yet to find it :P

Shrink won't change the video if each part fits on a disc. Secondly, Shrink doesn't touch audio, regardles of whether or not it will fit, shrink only transcodes video.

Assuming the finished video would fit o a DL disc, splitting with shrink will get you two single layer discs without any transcoding or altering of the video or audio quality.

Your other choices are mpeg editors, such as videoredo, or perhaps virtualdubmpeg2 using direct stream copy.

Personally, I would use Shrink in this instance.
