Hey everyone,
Ive got a question, I coudlnt find another thread with the same problem, so I hope Im not reposting. I ripped the Madonna Drown World Tour DVD using Smart Ripper, and then used DVD2One to shrink it down and strip audio layers. I kept the 6 Channel Dolby Audio layer, and stripped out the rest, but the DVD's defaults is to play the 2 Channel Dolby. So if I just play the DVD, it plays with no audio, and I have to change manually which audio layer it plays. Is there a way for me to change which layer it defaults to before I burn it to a DVD?

Yeah, I selected to keep only the Dolby 6 Channel audio layer and to strip the rest. But if I just push play on the ripped DVD, no sound plays, I have to manually change it it track 2 (The Dolby 6.1 that I left). I just wanted to know if there was a way to change it to make it play the layer I left as default?

You chose 6ch even if it wasnt supported? Theres no way you can make a correction on the dvd once its burned. But if you used a dvd-/+rw you can erase it and redo the whole thing. Chose the 2ch this time.

I noticed the same thing. If your source dvd has both 2-ch stereo and 6-ch stereo, and you remove the 2-ch then no audio is played unless you manually change the audio when playing. Sometimes, that doesn't work either.
I suspect there is a way to fix this with IFOedit, but I don't know. I do know that the IFO file is where the audio track choices are stored. Its possible that 2-ch stereo is the only valid default choice, and you cannot default to 6-ch audio or DTS audio.
My solution is to remove the 6-ch and keep the 2-ch (and all other audio and subtitles too). This way, you save space that way and thus get a higher quality video. Some day there will be writable DVD-9's, and then you can make true 1:1 copies. Until then, you have to live with a few sacrifices to get a 9gig movie on a 4.7 gig disk. Or, you can divide your movie across two disks and use no compressions and keep everything.

Have you tried remapping the audio stream-id to 0x80? I believe a lot of DVD player default to playing the audio track with the id of 0x80.

I figured this one out another way, I would burn some movies that were 6-7GB's in size and they would come out smaller than the 4.36GB I wanted them. So what I did was add multiple audio channels. for example if a movies has a 2ch English and 6ch DTS English I would add them both. Not only would the movie come out to the correct size but the audio is the 6ch. You might try this tiggerboi

jnihil, How would I go about remapping that audio layer to 0x80? Sounds exactly like the answer I was looking for, but Im not sure how to edit that. I kept the 6 Channel rather than the 2 because I plan on upgrading to a surround sound system in the future, and given it is a concert/music DVD the audio is important, so I chose to keep the 6 channel.

I agree, the 0x80 audio stream is the default, and it can be set to anything. I just started backing up the new Harry Potter movie, and the DTS-6ch audio is 0x80 and the 2-ch audio is 0x82. So, it appears you certainly can set 6-ch audio as the default.
As to how to do that with IFOedit, I have no idea.

Try stripping & compressing w/ DVD Shrink 2.3 <-(d/l here)
If no success there then yes it sounds like a manual operation to me...

tiggerboi, sorry mate, I knew I forgot to do something!
I *THINK* this is the way to do it in ifoedit:
1. Open the IFO file for the title-set in question (ie: VTS_01_0.ifo).
2. Go to the VTS_PGCITI then VTS_PGC_1. You'll see an object called 'audio stream status'. You should change this value for the audio you want to '32768' which is 0x80 (hex). I tried changing one of my backups from this value to '33024' and the audio stream-id had changed from 0x80 to 0x81 under VTS overview.
Have not yet tested how this plays on a DVD player, so perhaps you can let us know if this does the trick (make sure you make a backup!!).
Rgds,
jnihil.

Thanks Jnihil! I switched Audio Stream 1 Status to 33024 and Audio Stream 2 Status to 32768 (basically just flip flopped the numbers) and it seems to be working like a charm! Thanks again!
