Stripping .m2v and .ac3 file from .VOB files on Hard Drive

[rhuala2]

I have a large DVD that I have ripped the .vob files to the HD. I fully understand and have the following tutorial working:

http://www.doom9.org/ (Split a DVD to 2 DVD-Rs)

...but I would like to strip all the menus, warnings and extras and create my own title screen. The way I have been doing my own titles is using DVD Maestro and importing .m2v and .ac3 files.

Well since the the DVD I am ripping is too big for 1 DVD-R I have ripped all the .VOB files to my HD. Split the .vob files into 2 disks as described by the tutorial. Now I would like to extract the .m2v and .ac3 files from the .vob files in the seperate directories on my hd so I can import them in Maestro and finish my DVD authouring. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

Use DEMUX in TMPGenc. You can get the video and ac3 files there.

try using dvd2avi and select the vob file you want to demux....demux the audio and you'll end up with 2 files....d2v and ac3..then use the d2v in tmpgenc use video only and you'll get your m2v file...you can then use the m2v file and ac3 file in dvd maestro..

just my 2 cents

If I do that it will re-encode it and drop the quality.

Thanks johneboy, I have 6 .vob files that I would have to strip both the m2v and .ac3 then re-merge. Worried about a sync or some other issue arising doing it this way. Instead I found a way to get Smartripper to extract the files I needed. But thanks anyways.
