Remuxing a m2v file


This is short guide howto remux a m2v file back into the vob files using IfoEdit.

Start IfoEdit, and open the IFO file of your main movie VOBs. In this case it's 'VTS_01_0.IFO' of the movie 'Shrek':

Below you have an overview, what audio/subpicture streams are contained within the movie.
As you can see, the movie also containes Angles! So you will later have to take care of this!

Press the button: ,
or chooes the menu-item 'VOB-Extras -> Remux .m2v', to get the following Dialog:

We'd like to strip audio-streams aswell, so we select the second option too.
I also already specified the destination directory, and the location of the *.m2v file we'd like to remux.

Thats's it. Leave all the other options like they are, if you want to keep it playable in a settop player.
If you don't need the Menu, and want to have a Movie-Only DVD, then you might want to check the option 'Create new VIDEO_TS.IFO & VTS_01_0.IFO'.

Press 'OK':

We want to keep Audio stream 1 and 2, and subpicture stream 1 and 2, so select the second streams:

A progress-dialog show's you the current state, which source file it is reading, and to which destination file it is writing.  

When the remux process has finished, then the VOB-Unit navigation pointers will be corrected in the destination files:

After this is finished, you've got your stripped movie with exchanged videostream almost ready for burn to DVD-RW.

Since the IfoEdit version 0.75, the corrected/changed IFO-files will be saved automatically to your selected destination folder.

So your new destination directory looks now like this:

 As you can see, the Menu-VOB's are missing! So copy them manualy to your destination directory:

Now you have to check out, if you will need some of the other files, especially if you want to keep the original Menu.
