| Hi!
There should be no problem with converting those DVD:s to VCD. I'm not sure if the text is a subtitle on the kareoke DVD or if it's encoded within the video stream. If it's as a separate subtitle you have to encode the subtitle with the video if you are making a VCD as VCD:s doesn't support subtitles. However if the text is within the video, then you can simply convert the DVD to a VCD. There's a lot of guides for that here at Videohelp. Check them out. // Znooky |

| Audio may be a little tricky:
DVD audio may be simple 2 stream switchable, or could be VCD-style [L vs. R] channel switchable, or could be true "Karaoke-mode" DVD which is similar to normal 5.1 audio, but each channel is mixed live together (in ways decided by the user) to form the composite sound (e.g.: Vocal Guide + Harmony + Background Music (stereo)). Depending on which type, there will be different methods to extract/combine/recode. Scott |

| Rip DVD with DVD Decrypter & Demux streams.
You've got: MPEG2 video, as M2V LPCM audio, as WAV AC3 audio, as AC3 Chapter log, as ?TXT? Convert Video: Many usual ways here...ex: D2V-->TMPGEnc-->M1V file Make sure you create I-frames at the frames listed in the Chapter Log. Convert Audio: Open WAV in CoolEdit (or similar), mix to mono WAV. Save as "***_L.WAV" Open AC3 in BeSweet, convert to PCM/WAV. Then do the same as LPCM WAV above, but save as "***_R.WAV" Open both in CoolEdit (multitrack mode) and mix down to new Stereo WAV. Convert to MP2 in TMPGEnc (224kbps, Dual Mono, 44100Hz) Mux using TMPGEnc tools to create MPG Make VCD in VCDEasy, using Chapter log to create chapters. Done! Scott |
