question about synching the gout with the mono mix

Author

I do not know whether or not this question has been already addressed.

how do you go about synching up to the gout of star wars with the mono mix?

I downloaded someone's ntsc conversion of the pal audio to go with RIW star wars, but I wondered if it would synch properly with the gout of star wars ?

Or should i wait for belbecus restoration efforts?

I'm currently half way through attempting to do this; my synched file is intended to be a rough guide to assist Belbucus in synching the restored mono mix.

I can upload an AC-3 file if required, but note this will be the gappy, glitchy unrestored version. If you can wait, I'd say you'd be better off with the restored audio.

Here's a guide to create a "quick and dirty" GOUT DVD with the mono mix.

1. Put your official 2006 GOUT ANH DVD in your drive. Start up DVD Decrypter.

2. Go to Tools -> Settings, click the IFO Mode tab, and make sure that File Splitting is set to None. Now go to Mode -> IFO.

3. Click on the Stream Processing tab, check/tick the Enable Stream Processing box, uncheck/untick all the streams except for the first one (video). Select the Demux button.

4. Click on the Decrypt button to start.

5. When finished, you should now have a demuxed video file:
C:\STAR_WARS\VIDEO_TS\VTS_03_1 - 0xE0 - Video - MPEG-2 - 720x480 (NTSC) - 4~3.M2V
or
C:\STAR_WARS\VIDEO_TS\VTS_03_1 - 0xE0 - Video - MPEG-2 - 720x576 (PAL) - 4~3.M2V

6. Download the audio file using the appropriate link below:
NTSC or PAL

7. Start up DVDAuthorGUI. Set DVD format to PAL or NTSC. Click "add title", select the video M2V file from stage 5 and the audio AC3 file from stage 6.

8. Click on "author DVD", enter a location where your VIDEO_TS folder is to be saved.

9. That's it! Now burn with Nero, watch with powerDVD, etc...

Moth3r, thanks for the guide. I also needed help synching up the audio.

No, I don't have access to a "normal" server with capacity for that size of file, I am stuck with using the free file sharing sites. I chose quicksharing.com as I saw some good reviews. Anyone else experiencing speed problems with this download?

I tried downloading just to check the speed, and the damn thing won't go faster than 2,60 kb/s, and that's with broadband connection and no other Internet applications open!

You should try another filesharing site. I believe YouSendIt has always worked fine for me.

No speed problems when I downloaeded the NTSC file to USA.
Started 2007-01-02 21:56:54 and finished at 22:08:45, so twelve minutes average 118 KB/s

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

Hm, so it looks like the NTSC version is fine, and the PAL version is slow ? Weird... Please, if you find some free time, could you please upload it to rapidshare.com or yousendit.com or something similar ? Thank you

Downloaded OK. Thank you very much.

I followed Moth3r's instructions, but I'm having trouble with this. DVDAuthorGUI stops working at the layer change (1:00:41) of the Gout disc. The first half is wonderful. Can somebody help me out with this?

Check the DVDAuthorGUI log file and tell us what the error is.

This is what I got:


**ERROR: [???] Need to split output but there appears to be no %d in the filename pattern C:\Torrents\d1\swmono\title1.mpg

Process aborted due to above error
Error code #5
There was an error in multiplexing the titles. One of the m2v files has 'end sequence codes' in it that must be removed in order for it to multiplex correctly. This could be caused by an mpeg joining program or something similar. Use restream to remove these 'end sequence codes'.

I've encountered this error before when trying to mux output from Womble.

Are you using the m2v file that you ripped directly off the GOUT DVD (step 5)? Check the m2v file size; if making a PAL version, it should be 5,924,363,248 bytes. If you need to shrink it for a single layer DVDR, that should be done after remuxing.

I'm doing a NTSC disc. I think I will delete the files and start over again. I want to have the best possible picture
quality, so I havn't tried to use a shrink program yet. It's definitely getting caught on the layer change.

I finally got it to work. The results are beautiful!
