Matrix: Revolutions Rip problems

So, I'm attempting to rip Matrix:Revolutions.

Rip works fine, except no matter what audio selections I make, I get
the dialogue in French.

Has anyone had a problem selecting language before?

Thanks!

Try playing it using xine and see if your rip is still in French.

Have you tried mplayer with the -aid flag? Generally, this works for
me... I've had this problem before and usually, it's easier to find
the exact audio stream you want (usually 128, I think) and strip
everything else out.

Here is the procedure that usually works for me, you'll wind up with
a VOB file with just one audio track...

Step 1. Dump the Audio
You will want to make sure you have the correct audio
track. To do
this, run mplayer with -v and grep for "Found Audio Track".
Then try
mplayer with the correct -aid flag. For example:

mplayer Shrek_2_US_16x9.vob -dumpaudio -dumpfile audio.ac3
-benchmark -vo null -aid 128

Step 2. Dump the Video
mplayer -ao null Shrek_2_US_16x9.vob -dumpvideo -dumpfile
shrek2.mp2 -benchmark

Step 3. Combine the two
mplex -f8 -o shrek.vob /mnt/c/Temp/shrek2.mp2 /mnt/c/Temp/
lang-en.ac3

Re: Matrix: Revolutions Rip problems [In reply to]

The two commands for pulling the audio out - is that done against the
ripped .vob or the DVD itself?

Either will work.... I find that the ripped VOB is faster though...

Re: Matrix: Revolutions Rip problems [In reply to]

in addition to -aid, you can usually use -alang en to get the same results

Good point, that would work, I prefer to strip out the audio tracks,
just because there might be 3 or 4 tracks that are english, DTS, AC3,
Stereo and since I only usually listen to one track, I can save the
600MB or so that each audio track takes up...

I have had similar problems transcoding files manually using mencoder.

I try to use the proper commandline language options but some stuff
comes out mangled. I've seen this with SpongeBob season 2 & 3 and Revenge of
the Sith.

I would like to do right the opposite. I would like to keep
my VOBs otherwise intact but convert the mpeg2 to mpeg4. Can anyone
give me any suggestions on how to do that?

I would prefer not to use an alternate container but that's
still an option. I would also prefer not to do the whole split into
seperate streams and remultiplex routine if at all possible.

The mencoder page has a pretty good if not verbose tutorial... It's
here: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-dvd-mpeg4.html

This isn't quite what I'm after. I would like to preserve
ALL the streams from the VOB in the resulting file. This includes
the subtitles. I get the impression that the current tools won't
quite do that.
