5.1 Mpeg 2

[contactadam2002]

I've used DVD Shrink to create loads of DVD rips (film with 5.1, no extras or menus) I want to keep the 5.1 sound when I convert it to an Mpeg 2 file, how do I do this?
When I used staxrip it can work with virtual dub I think, to rip the AC3 sound out of the recording and merge it with the compressed video (unfortunately it only supports highly compressed MP4 formats) would it be similar to this or do you have to use wav files.

The reason I want to do this is because my tvix multimedia hard drive seems to have problems with the IFO and .vob files (it doesn't resume properly, despite using many repair programs etc). It can bookmark MPEG 2 files, which is why I want them.

Do some searching on the forum.
VOB files are typically Mpeg2 in different container.
Use DGIndex to Demux the VOB into its respective video and audio streams.

Hi!

You can use good ol' SmartRipper (set for maximum .VOB filesize of "8500") to convert each of your DVD "packages" to single .VOBs. Then, since your files each contain only one audiostream and one videostream, simply change the extender from ".VOB" to ".MPG"...

(BTW - Although the much better known DVD Decrypter can perform the same process with an actual DVD, it cannot work DIRECTLY on hard drive files)
