1. Does using Dual layer discs make things more difficult? I can foresee there being problems at the layer change. Some people have problems with dual layer discs; burn failures, freezing after layer break, disc not recognised and so on. (And many people seem to have a problem spelling "dual" which makes me cringe every time!) I suggest you try burning a dual-layer disc and checking it plays OK before making a decision.

2. I ripped the audio of the 2006 DVD's with DVD Decrypter and got a VOB of about 190MB but by my calculation it should be smaller:
(192kbps)x(116min)x(60seconds)=1336320 kilobits= 167.04 Megabytes Firstly if you rip just the audio you should get an AC3 file, not a VOB. Did you tick the "demux" option for the audio you want? Your calculation is correct but note Windows will report the size as around 159MB (difference between binary and metric).

Depends on what exactly you will be doing, but you should be able to accomplish something with free tools.2. I ripped the audio of the 2006 DVD's with DVD Decrypter and got a VOB of about 190MB but by my calculation it should be smaller:

3. DVD's can have a max bitrate of 9.8Mbps do that include all audio tracks or just one? That's the maximum video bitrate; the total bitrate including video, audio and subs must be less than 10.08 Mbps.

Try the links here; if they're dead post a reply in the thread asking nicely for help. 3. DVD's can have a max bitrate of 9.8Mbps do that include all audio tracks or just one? That's the maximum video bitrate; the total bitrate including video, audio and subs must be less than 10.08 Mbps.

4. After looking around the forums my plan is:
... I should now have a demuxed video file:
C:\STAR_WARS\VIDEO_TS\VTS_03_1 - 0xE0 - Video - MPEG-2 - 720x480 (NTSC) - 4~3.M2V
I thought you were using the PAL disc? Keep in mind that the '77 Dolby Stereo mix that Belbucus captured is synched to the NTSC GOUT. You will either need to re-encode the video to NTSC or speed up the audio to PAL speed. 4. After looking around the forums my plan is:
