NO SOUND AFTER RIPPING MOVIE WITH DVDDECRYPTER

[SLICK RICK]

Whats up everyone, I have the latest version of DVDDecrypter and the problem is that when I rip the main movie to my hard drive and play it using PowerDVD I get no sound. I did not realize this until after I burned it to DVD. But when I sent it though DVD2ONE it had all of the different audio tracks for me to choose from. The sound is there when I play the original DVD through my DVD-Rom. Anyone know a solution to this, please reply.

THANKS IN ADVANCE,

PowerDVD is not very reliable. I remade Cast Away 3 times before I played the movie on Windows media player. It was choppy but worked. I burned it and bingo, just fine.

Other times I have checked on the VOB files to see if they have matching audio and video. It will play some in a set but others will just freeze up on.

[SLICK RICK]

Just another note: I also ripped the movie with smartripper and got the same results. Video with no audio.

[SLICK RICK]

Any suggestions. I dont think that it has anything to do with DVDDecrypter or Smart ripper, I think it must be a setting with windows xp that has to be changed.

I believe it is a lack of Dolby Digital audio support by either Power DVD or your sound card.

The sound on my backups never plays in Power DVD either, but works perfectly on my stand alone DVD player (which is the only place I would want to watch a DVD anyway)

i dont know what it is about castaway, i've always had problems with the damn audio for it.

i tried ripping out every audio track except the ac3 5.1 with ifoedit, nothing, no matter what i did it never worked correctly.

PowerDVD defaults to the 1st soundtrack which is 0x80 I think, so if it ain't there it won't play

when you say you are playing it back in PowerDVD are you just playing the VOB's or actually selecting the IFO and running the DVD as you would in a standalone?

if you are using the IFO what happens if you try to select another soundtrack while it's playing?

how are you ripping the DVD, full or part and exactly how are you doing it?

if you are just ripping the movie and one audio track you need to get it remap the auido stream 0x80 (default) but it sounds like you left it the same as the original DVD

version20 if you have PowerDVD, why don't you upgrade to PowerDVD XP version 4.0?, it supports all the sound formats

[SLICK RICK]

I am just trying to play the VOB's. And it is only newly ripped DVDs. A few that were already on my hard drive play fine including the sound.

[MackemX]

so when you are ripping them are you remapping the audio to 0x80?

how many audio streams are you ripping?

maybe your last version of DVDDecrypter had this remapping setup already but the new one isn't setup

are you using stream processing?

if so make sure when you rip it says Map to 0x80 in the box even if you pck another track

that should do it

in fact open the VTS_0x_0.IFO you have now and it will tell you what audio stream number it is in the bottom window

[SLICK RICK]

@MackemX

I have never had any of these problems before. How do I remap the audio to 0x80.

ps. I really appreciate you helping me and hopefully we can solve this.

@MakemX,

Stream processing was not set, so I changed the setting to enable it and now I am ripping the main movie over again. Hopefully this was the problem. I will let you know in about 5 min.

[MackemX]

have a look HERE

this is how I would do it

notice how stream 0x81 I have now remapped to be 0x80

is this the way you are ripping using the stream processing or are you ripping using file mode?

do the same with the subs if you keep them

[SLICK RICK]

@MackemX

I am trying it your way now. Let you know what happens in about 5 min.

THANKS,

@MackemX,

Well that was it, the sound is there but I picked the wrong audio. I chose the Directors Commentary. So I am doing it again with the right audio, but it should work.

THANKS,

SLICK RICK

[MackemX]

DOH, that way don't create the IFO's

I would just use DVDToolbox to strip it out after ripping the files

rip these files in File Mode as shown HERE

then use DVDToolbox to rip out the streams you want and this will make a fully working DVD

you could use DVDShrink direct from DVD but I've heard it's not so good with IFO's

[SLICK RICK]

@MackemX,

I dont know whats going on but when I did what you said and picked the wrong audio (directors commentary) it played fine with the sound. Then when I selected the Audio-AC3/6ch/English and remaped to 0x80, the final result "no sound".

SLICK RICK

[MackemX]

check your sound options

that is strange cos you say it plays them fine from the original

only other thing I can suggest is that you try the DVDToolbox way

[SLICK RICK]

@MackemX,

Ok, listen to this. This is so strange, I ripped the whole movie and all features play fine with sound except the main movie. I ripped it in file mode and ripped entire DVD.

SLICK RICK

[MackemX]

all sound tracks of the movie don't play or just the 5.1?

[SLICK RICK]

All sound tracks wont play

[MackemX]

beats me

and you say it works fine direct from the original?

[SLICK RICK]

MackemX,

It has to be something with that particular DVD (Behind Enemy Lines)
because I ripped a different DVD and it played fine without changing any settings.

I really appreciate all of your help, Thanks.

SLICK RICK

[MackemX]

couple more things to try

try the DVD PLAY in Ifoedit and see if that has sound when you go through the sound menu option

you could always try ripping it with DVDShrink but don't use any compression

that may do the job cos maybe it's something to do with DVDDecrypter

if it still don't work then it's the DVD, but if it does then it's DVDecrypter

njoy

[SLICK RICK]

Is there a movie only option with DVD Shrink.

SLICK RICK

[MackemX]
