    Hey, Gang!

    I have a couple of DVDs sourced from VHS--mono VHS, so I have audio coming out of just one speaker (!). Is there a quick 'n easy fix so that I'll wind up with a DVD that has audio coming out of both speakers? Pleez lemme know! Usually I rip with DVD Decrypter and I author stuff with TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6.
    Thankewps!!!

    You can demux the audio, convert it to stereo using Audacity, then mux a new DVD.

    1 VOBEDIT- Demux VOB to m2v, ac3
    2 PX3- Convert AC3 to WAV
    3 Audacity- Load wav, adjust audio and output New WAV
    4 FFMPEGGui- Convert New WAV to New AC3
    5-MUXMAN- Mux m2v with New AC3 into New VOB (a New VOB folder with all the required files is created)

    vobedit
    http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downlo...obedit_254.html

    Run VobEdit > 'Open', select VTS_01_1.VOB (the first large VOB of the title, the rest will come in at the same time).
    'Demux' > select 'Demux Multiple Streams at once'
    The files will be saved as an .m2v ,ac3 and .sup if subtitles were selected.

    px3 ac3 to wav
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/PX3_AC3_to_WAV

    Load the ac3 and select an output name eg ac3.wav

    Audacity:get the stable version.

    Use this link tutorial to convert to stereo.
    http://chacadwa.com/book/export/html/35

    Export the file as 'new.wav'

    ffmpeggui
    http://download2.videohelp.com/download/ffmpeggui03c.zip

    Load new.wav and save as new.ac3

    muxman
    http://www.mpucoder.com/Muxman/versions.shtml

    Load the video .m2v, the subtitles .sup and the new audio 'new.ac3'
    Indicate the language of the audio and subtitles.
    Press 'Start', a new DVD folder is created.

    Not at all, in fact it's easy.
    Each step is simple and fast and it's a great confidence builder to find out you can take a DVD apart and put it back together - and modify the audio too.
