Audio size is 4096.00 Mb? I don't think so

I'm making backups of some Upright Citizens Brigade episodes and it seems to be working fine except for one particular episode. Here is the log file:

Audio is not found for some reasons. Was it demuxed properly?
Actually now that I see the beginning of the log: what kind of audio is "???" ? :)

P.S. are u satisfied with quality of hybrid source handling ? Just asking coz it's found pretty high threshold, so I wonder does it look ok to you? (those eps that worked ok)

I get a better quality encode with AutoGK than I was ever able to get using regular GK. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this great program :)

Now about the problem, the audio is AC3. I ripped the episode with the commentary track instead of the normal audio track (it was the second AC3 stream). The audio was ripped and is there so I'm not sure why AutoGK can't detect/use it. Any ideas?

I'm not sure I understand "audio was ripped" bit. DVDDecrypters rips just vobs where you have everything unless you demuxed it there (what you shouldn't do). Can you post the stream info file from ripped dir ?

[anadistributors]

Sorry for my terminology. I used DVD Shrink and selected the second audio stream when making my backup. I will try it with DVD Decrypter and post the info file here.

EDIT: Can I use SmartRipper since I already have that installed on my system?

Please use _only_ DVDDecrypter with AutoGK as it's the only guaranteed method. All other may work, may not work - I don't support them.

p.s. read the tutorial in my signature

It works using DVD Decrypter. Thank you for this great program and sorry for all the trouble.
