Can you replace the main video on a Blu-Ray whilst keeping menus and bonus?

I'm making a new color grade of Peninsula as the standard Blu-Ray has a disgusting and distracting green tinge to the entire film. I wanted to know if it was possible to copy the Blu-Ray 1 to 1, only replacing the main movie video with the re-graded version. If you know of any good Blu-Ray copy or editing software that would be much appreciated, thank you.
 
tsMuxer can certainly do this (as I have used it for such a thing many times before), along with BDinfo so you make sure you have the correct playlist and title set info before using it with tsMuxer
 
I know this is an old thread but just wanted to say you can now do this with multiavchd as well very easily, it will calculate the playlist and title set for you. I'm not sure if this is a new feature but it's by far the easiest method I've ever found and I don't see it ever mentioned when this topic comes up in other circles. You don't have to do ANY of the work on calculating the title or playlist or whatever it will do it for you. If the timing isn't exact you can even adjust the chapter marks in it very easily. I am impressed by people that can make menus entirely in multiavchd because that sounds like a huge headache to me but I have often used it to update Blu-rays I authored with DVD architect without having to re author the whole Blu-ray.

I think bdedit+tsmuxer can do it.

Do you know of any good tutorials of how to do this particular thing (replacing a video track while keeping the menus, etc, untouched) with those tools?
 
This is more troublesome.
First, you use the backup function of MakeMKV to decrypt the Blu-ray disc.
Then find the title you want to modify in the BDMV\PLAYLIST directory, drag the mpls file into TSMuxer, uncheck the mpls video stream, then drag the video stream to be replaced to TSMuxer, and check the new video stream , and then synthesize an m2ts.
Finally, use the tool BDEdit to modify the title information.
 
You can do this much much more easily in multiavchd which will do all that tedious work for you as I said above.

You simply import the Blu-ray structure into multiavchd, select the title you want to replace, and you will find an option to replace both the audio and the video stream. The only work you have to do beforehand is make sure the new steam is already muxed into m2ts format. It will do the rest of that tedious work for you.
 
Have tried both these different solutions and have had trouble getting any of them to work. For multiavchd, I can't seem to be able to actually press the "change video source" button. It just doesn't ever give me the option to change it. For TSMuxer, I was able to figure out how to change the video file but it doesn't mux the rest of the files in the "STREAM" folder. Any help would be much appreciated, I'm a total noob at this kind of stuff and I'm trying to learn more here.

What do you mean you can't press the "change video source" button? Can you provide screenshots of where you're at in the menu? The GUI on multiavchd is a bit weird and it can be easy to get lost in it. I will say you do have to already have it muxed into an m2ts file but that's ALL you have to do, multiavchd will do the rest as far as the math and organizing the playlist so it cues right on the Blu-ray disc and such. Even if it already has menus and such
 
Hey, so I managed to figure out how to actually replace the file with another one but now I'm having trouble with that. What I'm trying to do is edit a DVD menu for a TV series and replace the video files with updated quality. I first converted the DVD to a Blu-Ray by running it through DVD2BD express with no issues at all. Once I drop that now converted folder into AVCHD and switch out the video and audio files it half works. Some episodes work with no issues while others don't. I'm just overall confused as to what the issue could be.
