Greetings! I have a two disc version of Akira, one disc is widescreen & recoloured; but with a brand new english dub. The other disc has the old 4:3 picture, but with the original, somewhat better, dub.
Now my question is this...would it be possible to take the picture from one disc & mix it with the audio of the other?
If so, how would I go about it?
Is this possible?

Well, basically. You want to rip both DVD's onto your computer first, and then fire up the one with the good dub in something like VirtualDUB (it's free) and export the audio to a .wav file. Then fire up the new version and go into the video menu and select "direct stream copy" or "no compression". Now go into audio and select "wav file" and select the audio you extracted earlier. Now go to "save as avi". (You can encode the video to DIVX or something if you really want, but I'm assuming your going to burn it back to DVD, also this is assuming both of the DVD's actually have the same cut of the movie and not editted versions)

Yeah, if the two movies are different cuts, you're basically screwed for a quick fix. Even if it's all the same scenes, slight differences in the cuts can cause the audio to become unsynced. You may have to go through scene by scene to make sure that everything lines up. Although since this is a dub, you may not have that big of a problem.
