I might begin by admitting my total ineptitude. After forgetting to add "mux ac3" to the queue for star trek5 you'd think i'd have learned. I did. all other eight DVDs i backed up with full ac3 sound nicely muxed. all in russian. thank god for large RAID volumes and an inherent inability to part with anything. even junk. I've tossed out the muxed avis bt kept the sound-less ones, and since i also kept the vobs on my drive i easily demuxed the ac3 streams from that. so i now have 9 avis with no sound and i cant find out how to mux the sound from within vdub without re-encoding the whole movie. with only one PC this is not happening if there's an alternative :( I'm sorry if this seems REAL moronic, but I just can't find it and there's no reference to idiots like me doing dumb stuff like this in the vdub guide, the audio guide, or this forum.
