.M2V p/back OK, remuxed .VOBs = baaad..

[cinephile]

I've used TMPGenc to create a .m2v file (from a .d2v in DVD2AVI) and playback is OK through PowerDVD (albeit without sound).
Then remuxed the .m2v to .VOBs with IFOedit and playback is terrible (inc. dropping sound).

Am I doing something wrong here? The encoding seems to have been successful cos the .m2v plays OK.

I'm getting really annoyed with this , and I'm at the brink of splitting the damn DVD to 2 discs which I'd rather not cos the transcoded movie I get is very good quality (from the .m2v).

Please can ne1 tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers.

i tried alot of different ways of doing things when i started and i did not like dvd2avi at all. Try using these progs. The tutorial is at www.dvd2dvdr.com. This method works flawlessly for me. Hope this helps.

Thx for the tip/link.
I'll give SpruceUp and Primo a try.

One question, since I have already ripped the VOBs, which is the best tool for extracting an .ac3 file out of them when they are on the HDD?
I know I can use DVD2AVI but are there any better tools.

Cheers.

i use vobedit. It allows me to demux both the video and audio as an m2v file and an ac3 file.
