Reauthor dvd video with minimal loss of quality?
Hi,
I have a DVD of a musical concert (Triumph at the 1983 US Festival) that I’m trying to “remaster” for my own archive. The video is fine but the audio is compressed, so I’m switching the dvd’s 2.0 soundtrack with the audio from the CD release of this show, which has more dynamic range. The problem is that, no matter which settings/codec I use, it seems the video quality suffers after I render with the new audio. The video is MPEG-2, 720X480, lower field first, pixel aspect ratio .9091
Can anyone recommend some settings to use that will preserve the video quality after rendering with new audio? This is one of my favorite concerts — the output does not have to be put on a DVD, I’m going to just watch it on my computer. Would I use AVI? If yes, what settings?
Thanks!

If the video came off a DVD then hopefully it is DVD compliant and DVDA should use it without recompression. So I’d use DVDA. You can tell it to use the audio file(s) from your cd capture instead of the vob file audio. This will then give you a DVD. You can use the vob files from this to play on your pc. The only problem is if the files are large they will get split into 1gb segments.
