Is this possible? Replacing titles with PGCEDIT after authoring

[kpic]

Is this possible;

I have a disc with a bunch of short titles on it that each are subtitled. I would usually use SUBRIP and OCR the subs to SRT and then author everything in Adobe Encore.

Well this time I used PGCDEMUX to strip the audio\video\subtitle (in SUP format) and plan to use Muxman to re-mux them as seperate titles.

Then go into Encore and author a menu with buttons etc. and link them to dummy titles, then go into PGCEDIT and replace my "dummy" titles with the completed Muxman titles thus having a completed DVD with menu and easy subtitles!

I think I just confused myself!?

Yes, it's not only possible but easy. However, each title must be in a separate VTS for you to be able to use PGCEdit for the job. Open that one you made in Encore, highlight a title, and File->Replace VTST titles. Follow the easy instructions from there. Do it for each of the titles and you're done.

I don't guess the source is a DVD, because if it was there's a much easier way to do this using VobBlanker, keeping the original menus. No need to use Encore for anything.

Ok thanks that make sense.

The reason I want to do it this way is two-fold;

first the subtitles on the original are those stacked kind (like the person is saying something and that is a subtitle below and then on another layer above at the same time is a subtitle of the location) and I did not think I could SRT those because it comes up as one clip and it would all jumble together I believe)

Also because the extras are now on the same disc as the main movie (I want to put them all on a separte disc) and I also want to add a few things to it that I have of my own so I need to make a custom menu.

I must not be understanding you, then. Now I don't even see any need to demux. Just blank out the extras (VobBlanker), disable the menu buttons that now point to non-existent extras (PGCEdit) and keep the episodes untouched (assuming they and the menu together total up to less than DVDR size). No demuxing; no replacing. I thought originally that you must be reencoding the episodes. Apparently you're not.

Then for the extras and other stuff from which you want to make a DVD, demux them and do the menu creation thing in Encore.

Ahh, ok forgot about VobBlanker. You are correct I am not planning on re-encoding the extras and they should fit no problem under 4.3gb. Thanks for your help!
