how do i redo a dvd to make new menus

[mitch]

 
As stated, I have copied a video onto a DVD with my standalone DVD recorder and now I want to load it into my PC, edit it and make a menu and then put back onto DVD, can I rip to mpeg 2 so pinnacle will see it or what is the besy way

Your DvD shoudl already be in Mpeg 2 format??

What files do you have on your DvD?

There's no reason why you can't do the above. I've not used pinnacle but have used ulead.

All the files are VOB so I need to rip the Mpegs out so pinnacle can read them, its ripping the mpeg out of the vobs that it my problem

[greeny1232]

assume its dvd-r discs and not dvd+rw

rip your disc with smart ripper

*rip with separate ac3 and m2v


rename those 2 files to something like

moviename_ac3
movieman_m2v

start either spruceup or tmpg dvd author and click on the m2v file. it will automatically load the ac3. then do your menus.



if using ulead

doesnt read ac3 or m2v so i just copy the entire disc over and load that into ulead

Which recorder & what media? What kind of computer & what operating system?
