DVD-Lab, 1 movie, multiple vobs

[yf2001usa]

Hey,

Ik bought a dvd which was made by the most stuppid person in the world. The menu is a very nice design but the episodes are mixed up and hard to find. So i would like to make a new menu for it cause the retailer say the menu is fine.

I use DVD-lab to author SVCD on DVD and i realy like the program. What i would like to know is can i make a new menu and at in the episodes which each have 3 vobs?

Each vob inserted in DVD-lab is considered a title. Fortunately DVD-lab allows you to draw links between titles so that each one is played one after the other like composing a single title. Chaptering is not a problem. You can mark the chapter points and create menu with buttons on it linking to any chapter of any title. No matter how many vobs exist in your DVDs, DVD-lab merges them.
Comments. If sound of vobs is Ac3 I think you have to ask for demuxing while importing them in DVD-lab. If your DVD is multi-language, DVD-lab is not the right tool to treat it; you need do reauthoring.

You shouldn't have to demux any VOBs with DVD-Lab. Just import them and use as is. As stated before, DVD-Lab will merge the VOBs together that you link in the connections section.

Working with the VOBs with demuxing will allow you to keep all the multi-languages and subtitles if there are any.

Hi andkiich,
With all due respect, it has happened to me a lot of times : If I do not demux the AC3 vob, the resulting DVD has no sound, UNLESS the vob had been created with DVD-lab itself. ***
As far as subs are concerned, the first one is marked always as english and the others are considered unspecified.
Multi-language? The best result I 've got so far is only the first audio track working.
The only good news is the guide of "maa" as well as the one of "vmesquita287", members of this forum. Both speak about combination of DVD-lab with ifoedit.
Awaiting news.

*** revising
DVD-lab would author vobs with AC3 sound without demuxing - andkiich is right. What it would not author is an mpg file with ac3 sound (muxed with tmpgenc's mpeg tools). In this case demuxing seems mandatory or DVD won't have sound. Cheers

Hello everybody. I'm trying to author w/5 vob files in DVD Lab without demuxing (ac3 audio stream intact) the files ... as I noticed some of you said to do. Everything seems to go well until reaching the actual DVD compilation part; and here's what happens ....

I get an error from the veriication log for each of the 4 vobs saying that "the input vob file starts at non-zero reference clock time (SCR) in title 1, 2, 3, and 4". NOTE - my 5th title is ok - aparently because it's a trailer in witch I acquired from the internet.

I'd like to know how and if/how there is a way to correct these 4 vobs? These vobs were taken from a dvd and edited with Vstrip, just chopped off the very beginning of vob 1 and the end slightly from the fourth. BTW, the vobs played seemlessly in Power DVD ... it's just that autoring them is my problem. After authoring I get 9 vobs, 1 at 394k and the rest all at 0k ... in which the first one only plays for 2 seconds.


If anyone can lend a suggestion or two I'd apprecite it very much.

Thanks
Kay
