Star Trek Nemesis PAL - DVD9 to DVD5 - Audio goes missing?

[Fantom]

I've used DVD Shrink to backup many of my DVD9s to 1CD before without a problem.

Region 4 Star Trek Nemesis DVD9, I'm trying to backup to DVD5 1CD using DVDShrink 2.3.

Should be easy, after removing German Audio & 2 Channel English, no compression is required and 5.1 English audio remains.

When I viewed the Vob files afterwards with Power DVD, no audio could be found.

I then ripped the whole main movie without touching the Audio using DVD Decrypter IFO mode. When I viewed the Vobs with PowerDVD, it could only play the German audio and could not find anything else in "Other audio languages".

The original DVD plays English audio without a problem. I have also tried this with DVD2One V.1.2.1 and DVD Shrink 103. Same results - The only audio it will ever find is the German audio if I include that and compress the video, and if I just include English audio it finds no audio. I should mention that this is the first DVD9 I have seen where the English audio is not the first item listed - The German audio is listed first with this one.

Is there a way to compress a DVD9 ISO? That might fix it. Otherwise I'm stuck and would really appreciate help. Thanks.

PowerDVD in file mode plays by default the 1st audio. This is the German audio and u have stripped it. It is normal not to hear a thing on file mode.

U should preview with the 'Open DVD on hd' option, available to Powerdvd 4 and up, or u can burn a dvd-rw and test in a dvd player

Ahh, that explains it. I should have tried burning a copy. My bad.

Thanks for the excellent assistance oddyseus!

I've experienced this problem with dvd2one in the past and what I did to correct it was leave in the english 2ch with the 5.1. Very seldom will you come across this problem but when you do just leave in both.
