AutoGK encodes w/o sound

[mbekkali]

Have anyone had the problem with AutoGK encoding w/o sound even though the sound option is selected? This happens to some DVD's, but not all. Other DVD's are encoded just fine. I wonder if there is a bug in AutoGK. I have chosen Auto (AC3, VBR) for sound. And of course, if you play original DVD's ripped to harddrive then they DO have sound. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Nobody can take this one? May be there is some sort of protection of audio in DVD. I am trying to back up my DVD Matrix Reloaded however Auto Gordian Knot produces avi file w/o sound even though I am 100% sure that the audio option is chosen. What is going on? I am, literally, ******* with this problem for the past 2 weeks and have not got even a single answer anywhere, either forum or internet.

...do you get an error message like : no audio found ! ...while encoding ? or does autogk do the whole job - exept for the audio ?
...what happens when you choose mp3 instead of ac3 ?

There is no log in BeSweet folder about audio problems and there are no error messages about "no audio". Once I get back home I would post AutoGK log. In the meantime, I just read somewhere that if the size of file is less than 700MB then in Auto mode (the one I chose) AutoGK uses VBR, otherwise, it keeps AC3. I recall that I had this no audio problems only with DVD's that I backed up to 1/3 of DVD (1400+ MB), and there was audio in DVD's that I backed up to 700MB. May be there is some sort of bug in AC3. I shall probably force VBR and not let AutoGK choose audio automatically. Eurika indeed. Thanks for reply.
