I have been making some music video DVD compilations by ripping videos directly from the DVD-rom using DVD Decrypter. After de-muxing the video and the audio files, i would load the audio track into Sound Forge 7, edit it then mux or re-attach it back to the video. This was working pretty well until i came across some finished files that were out of sync'.
Then the other day i tried ripping the video as a stream - together with the audio, unseparated. I then loaded this VOB file straight into Sound Forge 7 and to my suprise it opened up. The Video was displayed at the top while the 2 left and right audio tracks were at the bottom. I then just edited the volume of the audio track...higher or lower, whatever i wanted. Then i clicked on file and "saved as" a MainConcept M-PEG 2 file using the DVD Pal template.
This conversion took about 10-12 minutes. Dead simple...no de-mux or mux or sync' problems to deal with.
I was able to edit the Audio while it was still attached to the video.Very simple indeed. I just repeated this procedure and loaded all the finished Videos into Tmpg Enc DVD Author, made some menus and burnt the DVD. Picture and sound quality were excellent. Sound Forge 7 is really an excellent piece of software.
Has anyone else been doing this?

well, no... but it sounds like a real nice idea... i'm working on a few projects right now and you've given me a good idea... thnx!
With all due respect... and there is respect... -
Glad i could help. I tested all the DVD menu's on DVD-RW disc's and the result was exellent, so i used some DVd+r's and they worked aswell.
The whole thing is so damn simple i really am very happy with the result.
I can't see myself ever having to De-mux or Mux again.
You know how you get enhanced cd's with a few video clips, well i ripped them off the cd and loaded them into Sound Forge, then saved as a MainConcept M-peg2 file and burnt that onto a disc aswell.
Thanks to everyone here for all the help and advice since i joined up. This place really gets your mind ticking and thinking of different stuff to try out.
