Is there anyway to convert just the .ac3 to .mp3 in order to preview the language....

[EnDarkEnd]

I selected the the 2nd .ac3 file for my encode, because that's the one my .ifo said was Japanese, but it turned out to be French after I was finished with the encode. Is there any way to just convert all the .ac3's before encoding so that I can manually preview them?

Thanks in advance,

I believe you can load each AC3 file into BeSweetGUI and press "Preview Wav". That'll tell you what language it is even without encoding it.

or just play ac3
try PowerDVD

Thanks for the responses, I was able to play them in my ATI Multimedia Center. I'm trying to rip a 4 episode anime dvd and I found that all 4 of my .ac3's are in French. Why? How do I get the correct batch of 4 .ac3's? There aren't any options for choosing a language, so I'm lost. I know the DVD has options for either English, Japanese, French, or Spanish audio -- I want Japanese. Anyone know what I need to do?

Thanks,

in smartripper go to the stream rippin tab and deselect all but the english audio

If you use SmartRipper in Movie mode, you can then select a single .ac3 be demuxed in DVD2AVI rather than "demux all tracks."

Track 1 is 0x80, track 2 is 0x81, etc.

If you've got an ac3 filter ('layer') installed in windows,
you can just pre-hear your track in WMP (windows media player)
