Audio track in a different language

[hampushello]

Yes hello!
I've just bought a DVD movie witch for some reasons just have one audiotrack.
And that one is plain simply in German. Now I now it's not possible change the audiotrack
but what I would like to know is if there's any site where one could download a new audiotrack?
And by that I mean download the AUDIO_TS files or something?

Sorry if my question is in someway stupid or irrelevant, but I'm a newbie here and don't know much about DVD's and such.

Thanks!

1) The AUDIO_TS folder on the DVD is most likely empty.
2) I've seen sites where you can download subtitles...but haven't come across any where you can download audio.
3) IF you find the audio track online...you'll need to worry about the NTSC/PAL issue.

AUDIO_TS is used only for DVD-Audio format discs and has nothing at all to do with a movie DVD like you have.

It IS possible to change the soundtrack and re-author the DVD to make everything, including menus, work with the new soundtrack, but you'll have to get the soundtrack. I have seen plenty of websites that archive subtitles in different languages, but I've never seen a site that has DVD soundtracks in different languages.

The following guide

can be used as a guide to re-author a disc with a new soundtrack. Just skip the subtitles stuff and replace the original soundtrack with the new one, assuming you can find it.

IF the DVD-movie you bought has already been "BitTorrented",
you might download its AVI/RMVB/MKV version, extract the audiotrack,
reencode it as .ac3 or .mp2, and re-author the original VOB(s).
Hope this helps.

If the DVD is PAL 25fps and the audio is from an NTSC 23.976fps version (or vice-versa), they won't be in synch.

Correct. I had forgotten that "detail".
Sadly, the infamous "4% speed-up method" still is the
preferred way to convert 24fps into 25 fps.
