Replacing a video stream within an existing DVD structure?

[SaSi]

A rather basic question:

The target is to replace the video stream of a ripped DVD with a lower bitrate stream that has been re-encoded with an MPEG-2 encoder.

If the DVD is ripped in file mode on the HD in a VIDEO_TS directory,
and the main movie is demuxed into a .m2v file and then re-encoded for smaller size,

is it possible to replace the mpeg-2 video stream in the VOB files with the smaller size .m2v file without affecting the rest of the DVD structure?

2COOL has this remuzing guide for using with ReJig so yes, it's possible.

Thanks,

the process appears to be straightforward. I will try that with a .m2v re-encoded with an MPEG encoder.

IFOEDIT also allows you to insert a new m2v in an existing file structure.
