That's what I tried:

OK, forget the tick (check) boxes - they are not relevant to demuxing, sorry about the misinformation.

You see in your screenshot above, the video stream is the one selected (the grey highlighting is around the "0xE0 - Video" text). You need to click on the text that says "0x81 - Audio", then demux. After the operation is complete, do the same for the PCM audio stream "0xA0".

You should end up with an IFO file, a stream information TXT file and the two demuxed audio files.

The Apple Falls Far

Ah - now I remember, there's a peculiarity in the way DVD Decrypter dumuxes the streams. You need to select/highlight the audio stream and demux each one individually.

Alternatively you could just rip the whole DVD to your hard drive and from there use PGCDemux, which is much more logical in operation.

PaulisDead2221 attempted a similar project - see his vintage edit thread starting from about this post.

IIRC he completed a preliminary version - he sent me a low bitrate 5.1 AC3 file to listen to. Now he's not been on the forum much in the last year and I never got around to muxing the preliminary audio with the GOUT video to audition his work.

is all what I'd liked to avoid... I expected to have directly a AC3 or PCM file...

You should have ended up with an AC3 file or a WAV file. Did you click the "stream processing" tab?

Yes, and I tried both "demux" and "raw". I haven't tried the "direct stream copy". Would that be the mistake ?

"Demux" should work. What audio streams are present on the DVD? Put a tick in the box next to each stream you want to demux.

What output do you get?

The easiest way would be to use DVD Decrypter in IFO mode, with stream processing enabled, to extract the audio track you need.

 Indeed, easy to do... But that's where I'm entering a new world that is all what I'd liked to avoid... I expected to have directly a AC3 or PCM file...

You should have ended up with an AC3 file or a WAV file. Did you click the "stream processing" tab?

You can use something like azid or besweet to decode/split an AC3 file into mono WAV files for each channel.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

You didn't make a backup or copy the data over to your new machine?

I can't re-render it as I don't have that computer anymore (as of two hours ago).

What?

Render, encode - both mean the same thing.

Be warned that Disc 1 - ISO will be almost 9Gb!!! Would people be interested in this method?

No-one is going to want an ISO that's too big to burn!

So you got your sizes wrong - just encode the main title again, this time using a lower bitrate to ensure that it will fit into the size available.

I've merged the two threads - titles were near enough identical.

SWfan1155, your huge sig image has earned you a place on the signature hit list!

Echo what others have said, nice little video.

Are you going to post the Megaupload link?

Just sticking my oar in re. the AR discussion - Citizen's ARCT has a checkbox that you can use to decide whether or not you want to comply with the ITU standards. 1920 x 1080 HD video with square (1:1) pixels downsizes to 16:9 PAL as 702x576 if you follow standards, or 720x576 if you don't.

I really don't think it matters too much either way - aspect ratio errors on old CRT displays could easily be much higher than the 2.5%, and I suspect many modern displays don't scale things perfectly either. Is a 2.5% error noticeable? How much "error" do you get when your display isn't orientated at exactly 90° to your viewing position?

It'd be interesting to check the dimensions of the test cards on DVE, or the THX optimizer, to see whether the circles displayed follow standards or not...

My best effort in the matter would have to be Anakin -> aNakin -> aNikin -> Nik.  Nik name?  Get it?  Nik is obvoiusly a derivation of the English name Nick... but Ben & Luke are English names as well, right?

Nick? What does that mean? 
Oh, nothing. My dad thought of it while he was shaving.

Just so you know, policy on this forum is that we don't allow links to eBay auctions selling bootleg DVDs (see FAQ #9).

This was a classic. I had the Gringo quote in my sig for a while.

Ah, now I understand - "Microsoft Sound Recorder" is named "Magnetophone" in the French version of Windows.

I have used that tool before, but I wouldn't recommend it for your purposes.

The easiest way would be to use DVD Decrypter in IFO mode, with stream processing enabled, to extract the audio track you need.

Not sure if I totally understand the post. If you "rip" an audio track from a DVD, then nothing is lost.

If however you are converting to something else, or recording from your computer to a cassette (magnetophone???) then there are losses involved.

Come on kid, please try to keep up.

Description at WBShop.

Available from 2 March 2010. "16 x 9 Full Frame" probably means anamorphic.

Suggested workflow:

1. Demux the mts to elementary streams with TsRemux.
2. Use DGAVCDec and AviSynth to downscale to DVD res and frameserve to an MPEG-2 encoder.
3. Is the audio on the AVCHD already DVD-compliant AC3? If not, you'll have to re-encode to get it into a suitable form.
4. Use Muxman to mux your audio and video together and author a DVD.

Although I get the impression you were looking for a 1-click app, if you have the time to learn how to use AviSynth it would be worth it in the long run.

Are you taking into account ITU-R aspect ratio correction?

Strictly speaking, a PAL 16:9 image from DVD at 720 x 576 should be stretched to 1050 x 576 for the correct AR, not 1024 x 576 as you might expect.

Thinking about it... that would only make the squish worse!
