Convert 5.1 DVD into 5.1 Mpeg 2

[contactadam2002]

Is there any software that can convert a 5.1 DVD movie into a 5.1 Mpeg 2 file?
Can staxrip have addons installed to it so that it can do this perhaps?
The reason being that my Tvix M4000 never resumes from the last position when I press stop or boomark it on an iso,VideosTS or .vob file.
All Mpeg 2 files can be stopped and resumed, so I need the movies to be converted into this format and maintain there excellent 5.1 sound quality.

DOS:

copy part1.vob + part2.vob + part3.vob..... result.vob /b
ren result.vob result.mpg



... DVD is a mpeg2, there is no need to convert it...

When you do that, the 5.1 is converted to 2.1. Plus there is always a problem when you do that, hard to put into words but itassumes the length of the whole mpeg 2 video file is the length of the first .vob file. So if the first .vob is 45mins long and you have another 45min long .vob, then the mpeg 2 will be seen as being 45 mins instead of 90mins.

I am not sure, but you might try this:

Drag & drop all the VOBs needed.

nothing is converted, it can't be as it's only binary merged files into a large one.

Your player have a problem to recognize and decode such file.

You can always take another way - demux vobs & mux again - there are plenty of free tools for that - search on videohelp.com or here on web side
