Objective
Starting from a DVD video, replace the the audio from the
DVD with audio from a different source.
Required Software
Step 1 - Prepare the DVD for Vegas Video
- Rip the DVD using DVD Decrypter in IFO mode. Set
Stream Processing to Demux for all streams. Make sure you configure the program as shown below.
- Multiplex the M2V stream into an MPG file using TMPEGEnc.
Step 2 - Prepare the Audio Streams for Vegas Video
- Vegas Video does not support file formats such as AC3, MPA, MP2, FLAC, SHN, or APE.
If your primary audio source or secondary audio source is in one of these formats, you must convert it to WAV.
For MPA, MP2, or AC3 use BeSweet.
For FLAC, use the FLAC Frontend.
For SHN, use MKW ACT.
For APE, use Monkey's Audio.
Step 3 - Sync the Secondary Audio in Vegas Video
- In Vegas Video, first open your MPG file. It will appear in channel one.
Then open your primary audio file. It will appear in channel two.
- Open the secondary audio in Vegas Video. It will appear in channel three.
- Click and drag the secondary audio track to move it
left and right. Using the video preview, move it around until it is aligned
with the video. This will be a bit tricky at first, but you'll get the hang
of it. Repeat steps 2 through 3 for each secondary audio file you have. If
you wish, delete the original audio in places where secondary audio is
present. Save your project periodically so as not to loose your progress.
Your finished project might look something like this:
- Once you are finished adding and syncing all secondary audio files,
save the new audio to AC3 (or WAV if you have enough free space on the DVD).
Step 4 - Multiplex the Original Video with the New Audio
- Multiplex the original video with the new audio using TMPEGEnc.
- You're finished! Now author the new MPEG file to DVD using your preferred DVD-authoring program.
