Lower DVD audio bitrate

[BadVCDguy]

I have a uncompressed DVD on my hard drive with a working menu and it is too big for DVD shrink to take on. How can i lower the audio bitrate from 448 the easiest? Anyway to do this and still keep my working menu?

At 448kbps, I assume it is 5.1 AC3 audio. If you want to keep the 5.1 then you have demux the audio track from the DVD, demux the 6 mono tracks from within, re-encode at a lower bitrate - 384 kbps is about as low as you can go for 6 channels, remux it into the DVD, and realise you have save three tneths of bugger all, and it still wont fit. More can be saved by going to 2 channel at as low as 192kbps, but we are still onlt talking about saving maybe 200mb.

If it is that big then you really need to look at an alternate solution. The only viable one for a single layer disc is DVD Rebuilder with CCE or ProCoder. If it is that important to you, burn it to DL instead.

Will DVD rebuilder be able to make a good looking movie from the DVD files i have? I am OK with dropped the bitrate to stereo at 256
