A small problem when ripping

[Subtle Sorrow]

Ok, so when I rip my DVDs, sometimes certain VOBs will be in a foreign language, or with directors commentary. Obviously this isn't a problem for editing, but I would also like to watch films on my computer. Any way to fix this?

Just rip entire disk as an image file (.ISO) and mount the image with Alcohol 52% Free. It's just like the DVD was there.

You can also do it the correct way and use IFO mode on DVD Decrypter; you'll actually get what you want that way.

sooooo, like, what do the IFO files contain that the rippers are missing?

[Phantasmagoriat]

If the VOB's you ripped contain all the original streams, you can probably switch the audio track in your player. Also, the VOB may not have an English track, in which case you may have to turn on the subtitle track.

then .. what files hold the Proper Frame Rate for these .VOB's
considering that about 99.999999% of the Rippers can not
get the Frame Rate correct!???

I wonder what part of "only rip the bits you need" confused people. There is no need to switch streams or anything, just demux the audio track you want, and export each ep as a separate vob. It's really easy, I should make a video about it.

post-it, please stop re-enforcing the idea that you're actually mentally disabled. It's getting annoying.

Yeah, you could enabling Stream Processing in IFO mode with DVD Decrypter, but unless I'm mistaken you have to rip the vob's one by one. I think most people would rather rip the whole DVD in one go.

@post-it: if there is no transcoding, I doubt what you are seeing is the rippers fault. It's up to you to read those ripped files correctly.

You are mistaken. The stream processor lets you demux or extract by chapter and creates new vobs. It's really simple to extract a single episode without the OP/ED and have it demux the audio. Using DVD2AVI, you can open any VOB for the episode and it will automatically link the others, I don't think shitty DGIndex does that though. Either way, it makes batch extraction VERY easy for processing. You just select what you want and go. If you tell it to do all chapters/cells, it will keep it effectively as is. Just set which audio tracks you want etc. It does as much as you tell it. Also I would suggest enabling OGG chapter file output for muxing purposes if you're doing a DVD rip.
