Help!!!!!!!!!!

I am trying to Rip and eventually burn some Anime DVDs.
Well when i rip it the stupid thing is in Japanese! I know there is an English voice option when watching the DVD is there a way to rip the english and not the Japanese. Or a least English subtitles?!?!? You guys gotta help.

Thanks

I only know how smartripper functions.

I you rip a DVD, you are also ripping all audio tracks and subtitles. Just check in smartripper which track is the english track.
Now you can use DVD2AVI. Select audio and then the track number where the english audio track is stored. Now save the project.
To select the correct subtitles: use the program SUBRIP. This program will select all subtitles.

If you want to know where to get those programs: just check the bar on the left.

For subs I recommend using the VobSub w/ Virtual Dub:

I've also used DVD2SVCD, but this seems more hit and miss when it comes to subtitles (great program for movies thou).

Be warned thou - ripping Anime DVDs to x(S)VCDs can be VERY tricky because of the mixture of 23.976fps, 29.97fps, 60field/s sources. Also most anime is telecined in a 'non-standard' way so you can't really IVTC or use forcefilm on it. Crest of the Starts would be a good example. While others series (esp older ones) are no problem.

There is also a way to use vobsub with Avisynth.
Vobsub 1.59 or newer work with YUY2 too!
Download and extract vobsub. Write a batch file. Open notepad, type

rundll32 vobsub.dll,Configure

Save it as configure.bat to the vobsub directory. Run the batch file and configure vobsub.
Write the Avisynth script, that would look like this:

LoadPlugin("C:\full path\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\full path\vobsub.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\full path\source.d2v")
BicubicResize(480,432,0,0.75)
AddBorders(0,72,0,72)
VobSub("D:\full path\vts_01_0")

"vts_01_0" refers to the new .idx file resp. .ifo/.sub.

This method is similar to DVD2SVCD, but I prefer to do my conversions in single steps.
