I'm trying to rip a DVD for the first time. To do so I have been following your manual "Copy your DVD to XviD with AC3 surround sound" to the letter. However, after using DVD2AVI, I do not get any audio output. According to the guide it should save audio in AC3 format seperate from the video. Instead I do not get any audio output.
I have followed the guide to the letter, so there was nothing wrong with my settings, so please don't suggest that might be the problem. And I have AC3 codec installed, which works fine, since I can play DVD's without a problem.
OK, been two months now and still no reply. Have tried other movies in the meantime, but I still have the same problem. For some reason DVD2AVI doesn't output any audio.
If you don't have an answer to fix this, do you at least have any alternatives for extracting AC3 audio from VOB-files? Is there some other piece of software which might be able to do that?
Jay, what's up, no success?
Let's see now... AC3 surround sound is great, but usually 200-300MB/film which will not help in ripping movie to one CD-Rom (700MB max)
I dunno about that guide but you should think about using the AZID function in BeSweet to extract the AC3 to a nice CD-quality WAV. This will retain Dolby ProLogic surround info, matrixed into L and R.
You can then perform a top-quality audio rip using LAME MP3 or OGG or whatever.
But, if you guys want to burn DVDs using the original AC3 you wouldn't need XviD would you?
Try GordianKnot and BeSweet, with further info available from Doom9.org
Hope this helps... ?
