Delete sound from a DVD

I want to replace the sound of a home-made DVD-video with a different kind of sound-track. How can I proceed? How to turn the video+sound .VOB files into files that contain only video data? And how can I join a brand new audio file (is the .WAV format the right one to use?) to those video files?
Thanks in advance.
 
You need to demux out the Video stream from your DVDVideo (DVD Decrypter, SmartRipper, VOBEdit, etc can do this) then re-author that with your new audio track. WAV files are fine but a generally quite large compared to AC3. If the resultant Video ends up to big, then convert the WAV to AC3 first and use that in the Authoring step. You can use TMPGEnc DVD Author ot DVDLab to author and see the Tutorial section for a WAV to AC3 guide.

Thank you, Chicken Man.
I got some problems demuxing .vob files with DVD Decrypter... the risultant .m2v files are bad quality files: most of the frames look like this:

I tried to reduce read speed till 1x, but the problem doesn't seem to fix.
What is happening?
Thanks again.
 
What your seeing is an interlaced image. Done use TMPGEnc DVD Author as your viewer. Play the file in WMP before you complain of poor quality. Demuxing does absolutely NOTHING to the quality of the video, it just splits the stream out, nothing more.
 
another method is to get hold of DVDShrink and load in the DVD. It will show and also give you the option to remove the audio. Untick all the audio and it ill rip the DVD removing all the audio to produce a video only DVD :)

I don't know about using wav files into AUTHOR for DVD GUI but you can remux ac3 audio and the original video VOB's back together using it as I've done it a few times :)
