Ok, this may seem odd but try to keep up with me :-)

I'm trying to backup the Simpson Season 1 DVD no1 episode "Bart the general"

I noticed that smartripper identifies the episode I want to encode as chain 4.

I start my favourite tool (DVD2SVCD hehe) and adjust all settings for an anime encode , I select internal routines ripping and then under movie length I choose track no4 which by the way has the same length as reported by smartripper...So I'm quite sure this is the episode I want....Because I'm Dutch speaking I also selected the Dutch subs and that is why I immediately notice dvd2svcd picks the first track for encoding instead of no 4 because it is a subtitle-line from the first track ...

I retested this choosing track 2, 3, 5 bla bla always the same subs are being chosen , namely those from track 1.

So , giving up on internal routines, I switched to VSTRIP...
gues what, no matter which track I choose then, again always the first track is being ripped.

So what do I need to do to get the one I want :-) ????


TIA

damn, what an ass I've made off myself.

I let the ripping continue even though the subtitle was one of track 1 and now I noticed even though it was always the same subtitle line, the ripped episode is now indeed the one I wanted. So how come ?
Are all the subtitles encased as one giant succession of subtitles ?
So eg episode 2 the subtitles are shown not from the start of this subtitles file but from a bit further on...as opposed to the subtitles from track one that are indeed read from the start.
