What does it mean in the file name "Audio AC3 T02 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY -83ms.ac3" ? What doies the T02 3_2CH mean?

I have ripped the dvd to my hd, and have all audio tracks in it(No Stream Proc'ing)? In dvd2avi I have selcted Track 1? Why does it say T02 in the file? Also what does the 3_2CH mean? I am hoping to rip the 2ch track out? Which is 0x82? But when I select Track 3 in dvd2avi, I get nothing?

Can someone shed some light on this? I see alot of options in dvd2avi, but cant find any docs to well explain it all? Is there a doc somewhere?
Thanks!

Select Demux all tracks in DVD2AVI and pick the one you want.
The 3_2 means it's a 5.1 AC3.
2_0 means its a Stereo Soundtrack.

Excellent! Thanks for the info?
What does the track number mean in dvd2avi? Is that even taken into consid? I know ALL tracks are there, but only the afformentoion 5.1 comes out? I want the 2channel track, as i dont want the hassel of downmixing etc, I dont think I can do as good as job as they did!
Thanks!

Track Number in DVD2AVI menu is to represent which audio stream you're going to demux or decode. Normally, the first audio track is at 0x80 (the default track that automatically select if you don't select other audio track before playing), the second track is at 0x81, and so on. If you rip your own DVD out into the harddisk, there should be an IFO or TXT file that describe everything inside that DVD (video stream, audio streams, subtitles, etc.). To read an IFO file, you need some software like ChapterXtractor to read (can't use notepad).

Hope this help! :)

Intersting, thats what i thought. I can see that the 3rd stream is the 2 channel that i want, yet I wont extract it?
Hmm...
