I need to KEEP the audio

[AaronAMV]

I need to do a project representing the theme and how they lived their life in "To Kill A Mockingbird" so I took it one step further; I got the DVD and am going to use some of the movie in it.

The problem is, the audio is usually killed automatically, so how do you KEEP the audio? This is the question

So like, help please?

PS. I love the book.

In your dvd ripping application, dont disable the audio.
In dgindex, don't disable the audio.

Which step are you having trouble with.

[AaronAMV]

Apparently the decryption part because DGIndex doesn't have Disabled Audio as checked; it says Demux All Tracks.

So what do I do to enable the keeping audio in DVD Decryptor?

[Zarxrax]

DVD Decryptor should keep audio in the vobs unless you explicitly disable it in the stream processing settings, or something like that.

I previewed the file in VDub (Since VDubMod doesn't work with Vista x64) and DGIndex, I hear sound from neither of them.

I have not changed any settings in DVD Decrypter, I went to Settings>Stream Processing and this is what it looks like.

[/]Convert PCM to WAV

Direct Stream Copy: *
Demux:
Raw:

Examples: *
*=All Streams
?=Wildcard 0xE0 0x8? 0x20

Note: The "[/]" means the box is checked off.
Note: The audio is still in the .vobs when I play the vob in VLC.

If VDub just doesn't preview audio, how do you change the codec in VDub? It just has me save as .avi.

DGIndex doesn't play sound anyway (right?); and since no audio information is saved in the .D2V file, there won't be any sound in your AVISynth script in VDub or anything else, assuming all your script does is load the .D2V file.

When you saved each .D2V file, did you see the cursor go back and do a second pass where the "Audio" section was updating instead of the "Video" section? If so, then the audio should have been demuxed: go to the directory where you saved your .D2V files and look for similarly-named WAV files.

If you find the audio file you're looking for, then you can add it to your AVISynth script with the following line (after loading your D2V file):

Code: Select all

AudioDub(last,WAVSource("C:\[my path]\[my file].wav"))

I don't have any .wavs in my VIDEO_TS folder, instead I have 3 .ac3 encoded files.

TKAM T01 2_0ch 192Kbps DELAY -44ms.ac3

[AaronAMV]

An update, when I play the .vobs in VLC, there are three possible audio tracks. The first is the original audio with commentary, the second is in French, and the third is JUST the original audio. Now, how would I keep the original audio only, since the commentary is the first possible track?

[AaronAMV]

Sorry for the triple post, but I got it to work. Now the only problem, is how to get the file into Lagarith, instead of the default codec to save in VDub. Help?

What, you mean Video menu --> Compression... doesn't give you the option to change codecs?
