Cast Away has no sound

[dr_roberts49]

I've been using the newest version of Smartripper and have been successful except for one DVD, Cast Away. I get all the video, but no audio. I followed instructions to the letter using VOBrator and changing the audio track identifier. Still no sound. This DVD has the option of using DTS audio, could this be part of the problem. All the other DVDs I ripped successfully did not offer DTS. Any help would be appreciated.

"This DVD has the option of using DTS audio, could this be part of the problem."

You have undoubtedly "put your finger on it". For "Cast Away" and many other newer DVDs which include a DTS audiostream (as well as a Dolby Digital, etc.), the DTS stream is typically listed as the FIRST (080) audiostream. Most conversion software, if they accept the DTS stream at all, will generate dead air as a result. Simply select the second stream instead.

Thank you for the tip. I'll give that a try.
