Problem with audio extraction

[PackRat]

AUDIO Extraction -
Says it's failing with Audio stream 0.

Looks like an internal routine to extract audio. Failure reported but no handling.
Follow-up audio utilities fail on missing file, but don't report (apparently) anything.

Don't know that this is a DVD problem, since it plays OK, but any workaround would be appreciated.

I looked at the sticky posts. I had been thru all the Q&A looking for anything on the audio extraction.
I am trying to rip an included featurette. Probably because it is not the primary on the DVD, there is some coded in default interfering with the audio.
The log file snippet doesn't tell me anything other than "Audio stream 0 was not found!". Following audio steps fail due a missing file, but nothing is in the log file.
Anyway, ripping a 16 minute featurette is not critical to survival of life on the planet. I would like it, but probably the occurance of the problem is more significant. Unless, of course, there is some set-up screw-up I have made.

Thx,
