Mpeg Video to M2v & AC3

[Castor troy]

Hi

I have a Mpeg video file, which has both audio & video, I would like to know how I can rip the video to an m2v file and the audio ac3 or mp2, so I can drop them into dvdlab to make a dvd? or perhaps dvdlab wil do this for me?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

dvdlab will do this for you. If not, grab demux_gui from.

Batchdemux for mpeg2 sources and vob's .
https://www.videohelp.com/~liquid217/dvdauthorgui.pl?p=download

Tmpgenc for all mpeg1 source's .

Vobedit for demuxing vob's .

Mpeg1 will need to be re-encoded to mpeg2 .

If you want to have control over encoding :

Bbmpeg - the best , accept's avi's dirrectly , virtualdub frameserved file's , and avs script's .
Many user definable setting's if required .
The use of virtualdub allow's for some filtering if required .

Quenc - fast , accept's avs script's .
Some setting's , limited .

Hc - accept's d2v and avs script's .
Packed up front with advanced user setting's .

Hint : frameserving guide in guide section - read it

1: Open mpeg1 source in virtualdub
2: Set audio to full processing , set audio conversion to 48khz .
3: Frameserve to bbmpeg , and re-encode to required setting's .

Bbmpeg will allow for the creation of all known mpeg2 type's as allowed by dvd .

Some authoring tool's , if not most , do restrict the format output availabilities :

Rejig (nstc source) will accept all known formats , encoded as mpeg2 .
Ifoedit (pal source) will accept all known formats , encoded as mpeg2 .

Trick : authoring none full d1 source with dvdauthorgui .

To author mpeg2 at 352x288 in dvdauthorgui .
First title must be recognized acceptable size as for chosen output type .
Ie , pal is 720x576 (use a demuxed logo , or create one from any other source , must have audio)
All other title's below the first can now be 352x288 source (pal) .

This also gose for nstc ...

Tool's that can generate video with null audio :

Slideshow movie maker (generate's avi - encode with bbmpeg)
Dvdslideshowgui (output's mpeg)

They might be handy .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Addon : Other's worthy to having :

Pgcedit - nav command editing
Dvdshrink - for trimming authored title's under 4.3 gig limit .
Besweet - for most common dvd audio conversion .
Belight - 5.1 ac3 audio creation (better from vob's , can be tricky at time's)
The gimp - menu's , and dvd button's .
Rejig - also has the ability to retranscode video , shink .
Dvdauthorgui - one of the best dvd authoring tool's around .
dvd-decrypter - ripping and burning (look for imgburn)
Imgtool - easy to use dvd burning for newbies .
Vobedit - for demuxing vob's
Suprip - for ripping subtitle's and menu button's
Visualsubsync - for creating you own personalized subtitle's
Srt2sup - convert's srt sub's to ifoedit format .
Gui4ffmpeg - easily convert frame rate's (one of the best free tool's)
Aspect - one of the better utility tool's for figuring out the type of aspect to use
Vcdgear - ripping mpeg from vcd dat's
Mp4cam2avi - nero's mp4 to avi
Vob blanker - never know when .
Virtualdub / mod - best all rounder , filtering , framserving to both bbmpeg and wax
Wax - go check it out
Super - for mov conversion , can also fix problematic avi's .
Mediacoder - for encoding to new portable type player's .

Artisanplayer - video player (finding a download can take some time)
Koolplaya - Good , can play dvd's from drive or folder (install freedvdcodec and ac3filter's)

Blender - for those who want there own animation's for menu's , ect .

A couple I spotted about the place :

free-rm-mp3-converter - can rip audio from rm , rmvb video's .
Rm avs script found on site : https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=289872
MP3Trix_FREE - Has a sweet bunch of filter's , stretch , fade-in , fade-out , more

----------------------------------------------------

That should just about cover everything ... there is more ... for another time .

By default, dvd-lab should ask you to demux the MPEG as soon as you add it to the assets window AFAIK.

Yep dvdlab did the job, so thank you for those who responded.
