hi, i'm having this peculiar problem ripping a Japanese anime DVD i have (Serial Experiments Lain #2). when i rip from the DVD, the audio language of the first 3 VOB files are in Japanese, but for some strange reason, the 4th VOB file is in English. this is also how the VOB files are originally on the DVD itself. because the audio language on this 4th VOB file conflicts with the rest, when i use DVD2SVCD to convert, i get the video but with a mute audio track.

if i rip chapters spanning over the first 3 VOB files and the 4th VOB file, no matter what language setting i choose, the first 3 VOB files will be in Japanese and the 4th VOB file will turn out in English. however, if i rip just chapters within the 4th VOB file seperately, i can get it as Japanese. i thought of ripping the first 3 VOB files and the 4th VOB file seperately and then joining them, but this isn't an option because one of the chapters in the movie overlaps the 3rd and 4th VOB file, and if i rip that chapter, the 4th VOB file will always come out in English.

i suspect the 4th VOB file being in English was a mistake in production, as all other DVDs in this Japanese series have VOB files in Japanese. it's just this one VOB file on this episode.

i hope was able to explain the problem clearly enough. has anybody here encountered such a problem or know a way of getting around it? i'm not sure how to rip just the 4th VOB file seperately in Japanese.
