    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Correcting audio synch issues after swapping audio stream

I have 2 VCDs of the same film in two different languages. Since the version in the language I don't understand has a much better picture, I want to remove the audio and replace it with the audio stream from the other VCD.

Both versions span two discs each, and one version is further split into 2 DAT files per disc. After merging each version into one full MPEG, I noticed the runtimes differ by 15 seconds. (I had to do some splicing to cut the redundant frames on the version which is split into 2 DAT files per disc).

If I mux the audio from VCD 1 with the video from VCD 2, I find that only the beginning and part of the middle is in sync, while in other scenes there is audio drift to different degrees. Thus, it seems like I will need to edit the audio scene by scene.

Is there a program which will allow me to merge audio and video while previewing the result to solve any potential sync/time delay issues?
