DVD Audio Encoding

[ClaireGalvin]

Hello all I'm new to all of this so any suggestions would help alot.

I'm looking for any kind of script or utility to compress the audio on DVD a back-up. I would like to compress it before I take it into DVD shrink, easier is better because I'm a newbie but I can follow steps if it is not that simple.

Anyways thanks oodles in advance!

It IS compressed already...what exactly are you trying to achieve?

[ClaireGalvin]

Sorry for not being more clear but I want it more compressed. I'm trying to backup "The Mummy," but I want to compress the extras a ton but not get rid of them completely; and maybe the stereo track also.

Thanks for the reply

Extract audio separately, then transcode to a lower bitrate.
Ffmpeggui would work.
Substitute the compressed audio for the current ones.
I have no idea if you can do this in dvdshrink.

Ok, thanks a bunch of your help.
But I have one more question how do I remux it without messing with the structure. I know, I know I'm a pickie person.

thanks again!

Remux during authoring, or use tmpgenc mpeg tools, simple remux, or muxman, or similar.
