Keeping Movie and Audio together after using DVDecrypter

[cncworker]

After using Dvdecrypter to open up DVD, is there a way to keep the main movie and it's audio together? I want to put the main movie and it's audio directly into MyDVD by Sonic. I have put the main movie in there before and it played on my stand alone DVD player great, but there was no sound. I feel like I'm really close to pulling this task off, but the audio doesn't stay with the movie. Any tips and tricks please. Thanks

Hi-

Well, if you want just the main movie, with no menu or extras, then decrypt using DVD Decrypter in IFO Mode (up at the top, Mode->IFO). However, I question your need to use Sonic's MyDVD. What's the purpose of using it at all? If the movie needs shrinking to fit on a DVD5, then most people use either DVD Shrink or a stand alone encoder, such as CCE or TMPGEnc. If you want the movie with the menu, then decrypt the whole thing using DVD Decrypter's File Mode, open it in VobBlanker, blank out all the extras and other stuff you don't want, and then shrink it one way or another, perhaps with DVD Rebuilder as a front end for the shrinking. There are guides for these kinds of things. All of them keep the audio. I have no idea why you're losing the audio, unless it's somehow MyDVD related.

Trying to use what the OP used, here's what I'd do...

1. Open disc in DVDDecrypter. IFO mode. Select main movie (usually longest). Use Stream processing. Select Vid track, check Demux. Select Aud track, check Demux. Rip (make sure filesize is unlimited in IFO/File preferences).

2. Get TMPGEnc. Use [File | MPEG Tools]. Multiplex tab. Add Vid track (MPEG2). Add Aud track (AC3/DTS/MP2). Select Streamtype=MPEG2 Program. Go mux.

You now have a single file that MyDVD would use and keep together. If MyDVD doesn't accept certain filetypes (AC3? DTS? -- I bet LPCM & MP2 are OK), then you would have to transcode to one of the acceptable types before doing the Mux step (#2 above).
