Hey gang. If you're reading this then you're probably aware that Tom Savini's 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead has finally had a few moments of graphic violence restored for the UHD release.

The opening has also been changed to black & white. Now, Savini has mentioned this idea over the years, but it always supposed to be a gradual transition from B&W to colour during the opening credits. As it is in this release, however, the film smash-cuts to colour right in the middle of a shot. I'm not a fan. The idea is simply too "meta" and kicks down the 4th wall.
I'd like to make my own version that keeps the entire opening in colour. I'd like to make it BDMV compatible, which should be easy enough, except I have no experience in fooling around with DV and Atmos tracks. If it were BD, I'd simply use TSMuxer to do the job as the disc uses seamless branching and it'd be easy to swap out one segment file with another, then remux as one total file built from the relevant playlist.
Unfortunately, that approach won't work here and I'm guessing it's maybe due to the presence of DV and/or Atmos. Does anyone here have any advice on how to tackle this? I'd like to avoid any re-encoding if at all possible.
Cheers!
