Two Languages? o_O

If you are just editing... why do you care about playing it with sound? If you want to watch it, then just watch the dvd in some dvd software.

I should have mentioned this earlier... I'm doing a voice over, not making an AMV. I need to hear everyone to speak so that I can input myself into the convesation...

[Scintilla]

I finnally got the thing to work, but now there's no sound at all, I've tried it three times 3 different ways, but none of them have sound... The picture's fine and all... But yeah, nothing to hear.

Check http://www.doom9.org for tutorials on how to get sound out of DVD2AVI/DGIndex. I'd link straight to the page myself, but doom9 redirects all such links to their main page, so it wouldn't do any good.

DVD2AVI doesn't save sound with its project files. What it does is demuxes/decodes the sound from the .VOB files to a separate file (.WAV, .MPA, or whatever).
You can re-join the sound to the audio using AVISynth's AudioDub() command, or by loading both the audio and the video separately in VirtualDub(Mod).

Ok, so the reason we need DGIndex is because we need the files to be readable by other programs right? But then it doesn't display sound... And the thing with VirtualDub is that it won't recognize my ripped files without them going through DGIndex first...

What I need is for my Movie maker to recognize my voice over audition files (with picture and sound) so that I can just take out the person that I'm dubbing while leaving in everything else (In English of course, which is another problem because when I rip, both languages are recorded at the same time, overlapping each other... And it sounds really weird...)

And if I understand correctly I need DGIndex for the picture, and AVISynth's AudioDub for the sound... Then in the I put them all together right?

Ah man this is confusing... I guess it takes some time to understand all of this...

You just select the audio track you want under one of the dgindex menus... then save the project... and it outputs the audio to a file. If you just want to watch the dvd, just use a software that plays them.

Get <a href="http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net">VirtualDubMod</a> -- it reads ripped .VOBs directly. You might find it easier to send the .VOB straight to VirtualDubMod, deactivate the audio stream you don't want (under the Streams menu, select "Stream list" -- it took me a while to get used to it too), mark off whatever scene you're using, and save it as an .AVI.

That's not what I said. DGIndex itself is what converts the audio to something you can use (see Zarxrax's post); THEN you can put them back together in AVISynth or VirtualDub.

And by the way, you don't really need an NLE to do a voiceover if you're not going to be editing the video itself. You can just watch the scene in your DVD player program and record the lines while doing so (to get them to match), then put them together in VirtualDub (or AVISynth).

Alright, I think I can handle getting the audio... I'm checking out all the giuds that I need...
But the only thing is, how do I get the dialog from the ripped DVDs to be only English, and not a mixture of Jap. and Eng. put together?

I just finished ripping a DVD but all the parts where the characters are talking, it's playing both Japanese and English... Has this happened to anyone else? And if so, do I keep it on just english?

The Languages are overlapped so it sounds really weird, even the music...

Yeah, I just got everything working now... I've been tinkering with it for about 3 hours now trying to things that way I want it...

Now I know how to get the audio from DVD Decrypter and the Picture, but the only thing is that they're separate files now... But that's ok because you guys said that I can put both of them through DGIndex right? ^_^

No. Thats not what was said.

WHY do you need to rip the dvds for what you are wanting to do? Is there a particular reason you cant just watch it in your player, like has been suggested? Its really like 100x easier.
