Video title replacement?

[ambreview]

I've compressed 3 titles from a dvddecrypted folder of a 8.5GB DVD-9 that I would like to replace the originals. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
The reauthor mode of dvdshrink isn’t an option because I would like to keep the menus intacked and working properly. <o></o>
<o></o>
From the dvdremake pro demo I noticed it could do this but I've also read suggestions that either one or any combination of PgcEdit, VobBlanker, VobEdit, or IfoEdit could as well but just not as easily? <o></o>
<o></o>
I’ve skimed over something about making each title one file for PgcEdit to do it and also something about reauthoring everything and rebuilding the dvd from scratch with one of these programs? I have no problem with the difficulty or time involved, just want to know if it can be done and how. <o></o>
<o></o>
Any thought you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks<o></o>

See the VobBlanker site for a guide - adding back menus to a DVD Shrink reauthored DVD. There's also a link in the "read this first" sticky.

But without extras

Yeah I've acctually seen that before and I found this,

http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/third_party/blutach/adding_menus_to_dvd_shrink_reauthored_dvds.htm

basic method as well. They both state,
"Applies to:
Main movie re-authored from DVD Shrink or Nero Recode (without extras)"

and what I am hopeing to do is retain everything and just replace 3 titles.

The basic method dosen't include vobblanker which would skip a multiangle that is on my disc so maybe it's possible to repeat the method for each title, main movie and extras, and then add back the menu, linking everything back in place???

Well, since I write both guides (one is simply an earlier version of the other), I can tell you the link in post 2 is the most up to date guide for doing this (and easiest). It really is a piece of cake - normally, you need do nothing at all to the streams. Aaah - but I do remember the old days - it was quite fun.

For the multi-angle issue, you will either need DVD Remake Pro or to author out the extraneous angles.

To remove ALL angles but one, you can use PgcEdit's "Del Angles" function (a button in the PGC editor) and process the resulting DVD with VobBlanker to remove the unused cells from the VOB files. I think FixVTS can be used instead of VobBlanker, but I'm not too sure. Note that you have to remove all angles in all PGCs of the domain, or VobBlanker will complain.
