Attack of the clones editting

[Jedi_Smurf_7]

Hello everyone.

I am new on this forum and I am also new in the world of editing.

I wanted to edit my AOTC DVD. Actually I wanted to reinsert some of the deleted scenes into the movie. So I downloaded few programs and finished editing but final movie doesn't have 6 channel sound as original DVD had.

Here is the list of programs I used.

1.DVD Decryptor- I used IFO-I mode and also I have used split by VOB_ID option since the other ways I had syncronisation problems. I did it for 1st disk and also for the second.

2.I used WOMBLE MPEG editor to edit the movie. I reinserted deleted scenes back to the movie and everything worked perfectly. But when I go to export to MPEG2 in audio options there is only option for 2 channels audio. I have exported movie to MPEG2.

3. At the end I used Ulead Video Studio 9 to make menus and chapters and to prepared DVD for burning.

My final product has only 2 audio channels. Is this the problem of WOMBLE MPEG Editor or did I do something wrong? Also if WOMBLE MPEG Editor can notaccept 6 channels audio what type of editor shall I use. Also How can I keep the subtitles in the movie while doing the editting?

Thanks in advance.

Are the deleteds in 6 channel? This may be the limiting factor, because you can't change streams mid-stream, so to speak.

Yes deleted scenes are 6 channels.

Hmmm. Not ever having used Womble before, I can't tell you. Seems strange - all you are doing is muxing in some new cells right?

What I would consider doing is using VobBlanker and AddChapter, both available from the VobBlanker site.

First, re-rip in file mode, all files.

Then add however many new blank chapters at the end of the title PGC you need. Then, using PgcEdit, move the various VOBIDs around in the title PGC so your blanks are where you want them. Make sure the seamless (layer break) flag is off.

Then using VobBlanker, replace the blank cells (which are now exactly where you want them) with your deleted scenes. In VobBlanker, you will need to tick the option "fix elapsed time replacing cells" (accessible with alt-m).

That's it - one seamless title including deleted scenes.

Of course, there's lots of other ways to do it non-seamlessly, involving cell commands branching out to the different titleset, but this is neatest and won't involve nasty, layer break-like stops at the deleted scenes.

I hope you follow this procedure. It isn't all that hard, just getting to know how to assign different VOB and Cell IDs to different cells is the trick.

Oh yeah! Be sure to check your chapter positioning after re-aligning the cells. PgcEdit allows you to do this as well, in the same editing screen. Just make a note beforehand of which VCIDs each chapter corresponds to. That way, you're scene selection menu will still work as intended.

Which Womble product is it? (MPEG Video Wizard or MPEG-VCR).

I haven't used 5.1 sources with MPEG-VCR or MPEG Video Wizard. Both programs are supposed not to re-encode. So the audio should be the same as the source.

I try a 5.1 test later on.

I am using MPEG Video Wizard. It is very simple and good program. You can edit everything seamlessly.

I have both programs. I will use Video Wizard and see what happens.

I put a 5.1 video into MPEG Video Wizard edited and saved it. The end result is 5.1 sound as well. The audio options in the export box allows the audio to be AC3, MPEG and LPCM. I always leave it on AC3. When I click on the record button, the audio is not changed and stays the same.
