Hello! Originally posted on another sub but this ones seems more appropriate.

I’m working on birthday gift for my best friend and wondering if what I want to do is feasible.

Context: Her favorite show is Daria, but for the dvd release they replaced all the music due to licensing constraints. There’s already been a huge effort done in the Daria Restoration Project that puts the original music back into the episodes.

I have those files in an MKV format, I could stick them on a USB and be done–But I want to go the extra mile.

I’d like to get a copy of the dvd boxset, rip it–probably encode it based off of some light reading in this sub–and replace the official audio (maybe video files if necessary) with the ones from the DRP, all while hopefully maintaining all of the existing menus and special features etc

It’s a couple months till her birthday so I’m going to be researching and figuring it out till then. Any advice or guidance is appreciated!
