Second Audio Track

Hi all, I've searched on the site and read all the FAQs and guides, but there is no answer to my problem. I've ripped a multi-audio DVD with DVD2SVCD and checked the Audio 2 Priority tab, but the resulting BBmuxed MPEG files only have 1 track as far as I can determine. Looking at the log file below I can't see where the second track is extracted so I'm lead to believe it wasn't. I also checked the DVD2SVD.ini file and it seems to have options included for the 2nd audio tracked so I'm not sure what happened. If anyone can help me diagnose, I would appreciate. Here is the log and .ini file. Thanks in advance.

Hi hitch, you also have to choose a language from the pulldown next to it. The "Audio 1 Priority 2" is only used if the language specified for the "Audio 1 Priority 1" isn't found on the DVD - it has nothing to do with the second audio track. Hope this helps, Gerti

Gerti, thanks for replying. I'm not sure I followed you. I don't want the second language under Audio 1, I am having a problem that even with Audio 2 selected (English) it does not get encoded (or even ripped apparently). Would selecting a backup (Audio 1 Priority 2) language such as Spanish make a difference to how the program encodes the Second Audio track? -------------------- I looked closer at the .d2s recovery file and it's confusing since it shows Audio 2 extraction step but obviously doesn't save it as AC3 file. Here it is if it helps someone diagnose.

Correct 

labersack: That's exactly right. The second english track is an overlay of director's comments. Do you think DVD2SVCd is having troubel with both tracks being english?

Yes, in this case it thinks you selected the same track and it encodes it only onces. To select a second audio track of the same language you have to check it by hand in the conversion-tab, at the bottom of this box are all available tracks listed, just check the two you need and hit go.

Tried that. 

Use Internal Routines 

You may want to use Vstrip if internal routines fails, I haven't used Vstrip yet and most of the people recomend to use internal routines and only Vstrip in hard situations or when you got no other choice. you doing the right thing by testing one chapter and selecting the stream you want, why don't you try Internal routines for one chapter as well? :D

You should really ONLY use vStrip if you have to, as Internal Routines will give you the most compatibility if for some reason IRs don't work. If vStrip even fails though, nothing will work, and for the sake of all that is good, don't use SmartRipper with DVD2SVCD ;)
