Cutting excess audio

Hi

I have been given an mpeg which someone wants transferred to DVD.

The actuall video is around 50 minutes long but the audio continues with silence after this for almost 2 hours.

If I cut the audio I will then have to re-render the entire project - right? The video is not the best I have seen so would not want to lose more quality.

How can I lose this excess audio but retain as much quality of the original video as possible.

Cheers

You'll be rerendering anyway.
Were I you, I'd do this:
Put the MPEG on the timeline, with the audio.
Cut the audio, render as an AC3 with exactly the same name as the video. If it's all in sync on the timeline, it will be in sync in DVD Architect. This way, you won't be rendering the mpeg, just the audio.
