I got this in PM, wanted to share:

quote:I have a bunch of DVDs that were sourced from VHS, but I noticed that the audio is only coming out of one speaker (!). A Y-cord from the VCR would fix that of course, but do you know of a quick fix for the ones that are already burned? I use the following method (which works), but it's also very slow and tedious.
1. Demux with VOBEdit.
2. Convert AC3 stream to WAV.
3. Edit WAV to two channels instead of one.
4. Convert WAV back to AC3.
5. Mux video and audio back together again.
6. Sigh to myself and wonder if there's a
quicker way to perform this tedious task.
If you know of a quicker way, or even of a program that has all of these tasks integrated please let me know!

My response was this...
I would do:
1. Rip from IFO to single VOB per title (per episode, for us) with
DVD Decrypter.
2. Use BatchDemux to demux them all at once. You'll get an M2V and the AC3.
3. Open each AC3 in Goldwave 5. Right click, go to channel. It highlights the top one. Assuming this one has the track, and not the bottom, do CTRL+A to select all and then CTRL+C to copy. Right click, channel again, it flips to the next one. Hit DELETE. Then hit CTRL+V to paste. You've now replaced the channel. Save as to WAV file.
4. After all WAVs saved, use Besweet (with Besweet GUI) to batch convert from WAV to AC3.
5. Author the M2V+AC3 sources with a good authoring program that supports elementary streams. TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.5 and 3 both do. I prefer to use Ulead DVD Workshop 2.
It uses less software, and it does several processes in a batch. It should be faster and a bit less tedious, yes.
thanks for the guide
