No problem using dvd:rip to rip and trancode DVD's to .avi
files I can burn to CDr's. MOF, I'm surprised how well it all
works, and the .avi CD's are near DVD sound and video quality.
My question is about DVD's with multiple sound tracks.
Ususally two in english, and one in french. Is there an easy way
to tell before transcoding which english track is the movie sound
track, and which is (usually) a track that describes the making,
production of the movie? I invariably get it backwards and have
to stop and transcode the other english track.
For example, the DVD I'm rip/transcoding now has three tracks,
0: en - ac3 48000 6Ch, 1: fr - 48000 6Ch, and 2: en - ac3 48000
6Ch. When I started the transcoding process, I guessed that
track 2: was the movie sound track. It was on a previous DVD I
processed. But, a while into the transcode 2nd pass proccess, I
used mplayer to preview what had been completed (about 80mb, 5%)
of the .avi file created so far. Sure'nough, it was the
commentary track. So I had to cancel and re-start trancoding
using track 0: Two hours wasted again ;(
