A long time ago I removed the header info from a M2V and AC3 file that I had ripped from a difficult DVD. I now have a similar problem whereby I import my M2V and AC3 into Maestro And Or DVD Lab and it's not giving a true representation of how long they are. I've physically watched every second of the film and it's over 2 hours, however when I import them they show as 90 mins. They are not patched SVCD they appear to be genuine full frame Pal M2V and 2 chan AC3. My player plays right through the 90 min section but on a couple of mates player it stops and returns to the beginning at the same point that Maestro/DVDlab see it as ending i.e 90 mins.
I need to strip the files of headers and re-master the disc. However it's been about 2 years since I last had to do this and I cant remember what tools I use last time.
Anyone have any advice please?
