    Decompile a DVD?

    Posted by László Kovács on October 22, 2016 at 7:45 pm

    Hi all,

    This is my very first post to this forum, so hello to everyone!
    And my question:

    A client wants to publish a set of DVD in our country. He wants me to put the translated subtitles on these DVDs.
    I already did this kind of task before, that time I demuxed the original DVD to video/audio streams, and started a new project in DVD Architect. There I added the subtitle track, made the disc, and ready. That was a “single movie” disc.
    So the big work was to create the subtitles itself.
    This time the original discs have menus.
    Do you know of way, to somehow decompile them, so that I can reuse the original menu? Or do I have to remake the whole menu system in DVDA?

    (I still don’t have the original discs, I’m just going to get them 2 weeks later from now)

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards

    The only way I know is to use DVD Reauthor Pro which can decompile the whole disc to create a Scenarist import script to can rebuild the project scenario in Scenarist.

    Thank you very much.
    That software is unfortunately way over my budget.
    Seems I’ll have to spend a day remaking menus.

    Thanks again!

    Best regards
