I tried getting just the video from my 2004 Empire (using the meathod described above) and I get the same thing. Shouldn’t I get a mpeg 2 file? Yes, the demuxed video file should be an MPEG-2 elementary stream with extension M2V. DVD Decrypter can be a bit funny with the demuxing options. I think you need to separately select the demux option for each stream you want (you need to have the relevant stream selected in the box above when you select the demux button). All I can suggest is to try it again.

Finally a not so quick question, do you know when the original reel changes are? If you have that widescreen pre-ANH telecine transfer you may be able to see the Q-dots.
I don't know off hand, but I'm sure there will be someone on this forum who can tell you. ...

Sorry, what I’m getting at is if I have 2 PCM tracks at about 1.5Mbps. Does video + track 1 +track 2 + subtitles have to be less than 10Mbps or just video + track 1 or track 2+ subtitles have to be less than 10Mbps? I think it the latter but want to make sure. I'm pretty sure it is the former. So while 1 PCM track is fine, 2 or 3 may start to starve the bitrate available for the least-compressible video frames.

Having slept on it and then read the thread you linked to I think I will be splitting the film by reels. As then I’ll have to reduce the maximum bitrate which will motivate me into converting the film to anamorphic (using step 3 in ADigitalMan’s guide). So what do you recommend I do after collecting my audio and anamorphic video?
I would recommend you use AviSynth to carry out the processing necessary to convert to anamorphic, and your MPEG-2 encoder of choice - CCE or TMPGEnc (pay), QuEnc or HC (free).
