Yeah, the conversion does delete all the Non-English files, and video files are downsampled, audio is left intact, but the Non-English audio files were also removed from the video files.

4) Mux the audio to the new video files
5) Recompress the .cab files
I'm only guessing that's the last two steps of the process, because he's not kidding when he says it takes a long time. It's been running around, oh, 7 hours now on a 2.8GHz Dual-core, and it's halfway through downsampling the 7th (out of 8) video file.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

blubberblub is right on the mark, and it does take a long tome to downsample the BIK files, they are downsampled to 20%, but are still clear.
It was the only way to get this onto 1 DVD.
I played with this conversion for 3 days until I got it right, just wanted to show that it can be done, but sacrafices have to be made.
Use it or don't, the choice is yours, I just did this for fun
