Noob question about language flipping in movies

[ufdent98]

Sorry if this is in the wrong thread.
While backing up certain popular kids movies to single Xvid .avi format, several of them have certain scenes where it flips between multiple languages. Ie, if there are written words on screen, it'll flip from french, then english, then spanish, repeat.

My current process is: DVDfab decrypter, AutoGK.

Obviously, selecting an angle in AutoGK isn't sorting out the problem.

So:
1. Where does the problem lie, what is it called?
2. How to fix?

Thanks for anyone who takes the time to help me out.

It seems it's a limitation (bug ?) in AutoGK.
The wanted story (PGC) and/or angle is not properly selected...

You may want to try to remove the unwanted PGCs and angles from the backup DVD before using AutoGK.

Use PgcEdit + VobBlanker for the purpose...

Thanks for the reply
So it looks like i'm in the right forum-
Next, with PGCEdit-
I double click the main movie,
click del angles and keep #1,
disable the other audio VOB Streams aside from 0 (english 6ch)
What about the sub-pictures?
the first listed (0) is "en with captions", then (1) is "en normal",
the next two (2,3) sp and fr, then (4) is "en normal" again?
Which to keep?
And how to save?
thanks-

You can't strip streams with PgcEdit, just disable them. Use VobBlanker or DVDShrink to strip them.
BTW, to examine (and modify) the subpic streams, DVDSubEdit is a wonderful tool.

To save, well, maybe you should try File -> Save DVD? ;)

Continuing the noobiness-
What are subpic streams?
So far, double clicking the main movie in PgcEdit, deselecting the non-main audio tracks, hitting the delete angles button and keeping the first only, saving DVD, VobBlanker process only the main movie and voila, it works.
thanks,

I'm glad you figured out how to do it!

The subpic streams hold the subtitles and button highlights.

As an alternative, if the DVD doesn't contain "ARccOS" or "RipGuard" copy protection, simply rip the DVD with DVD Decrypter v.3.5.4 (Different program than DVDFab Decrypter), after putting a checkmark next to "Multi-angle processing".

DVD Decrypter>>Tools>>Settings>>File Mode>>Multi-angle processing

(This does NOT work for backing up full DVDs, only for converting to other formats, such as DivX or XviD)

Thanks all-
I'm just archiving the main movies with best english audio track.
So it looks like i'm gonna get rid of the sub-picture streams.
I suffer from the tinkering gene, so I appreciate the advice, setarip_old, but this PgcEdit/VobBlanker is proving to be fun trying to rip out anything beyond the basic main movie for backup.
Cheers! Merry Holidays!
