playing audio streams in dvdshrink

[dvd_guy]

Hello

I was trying to convert this dvd into an iso format and i ended up with the wrong audio file.

is there any way i can figure out which is the audio file i want to go with the video.

currently i have got this dvd open in dvdshrink which has 6 audio streams(?)

1. AC3 5.1-ch English
2. AC3 5.1-ch Italian
3. AC3 5.1-ch German
4. AC3 5.1-ch Spanish
5. AC3 2-ch English
6. AC3 1-ch English

and then i have the subpictures with two of them(first two) in english.

is there any way to know what are the different audio streams, to ensure i have the correct one

also what are the subpictures?

thanks dude

i dont understand i burnt a dvd and discovered that the audio track i got were the makers of the film discussing the film

5. AC3 2-ch English

been there done that!

make all the mistakes and try not to repeat them, including making a dvd without any sound, yes i did that once!

[dvd_guy]

thanks for the reply chewy

why not

1. AC3 5.1-ch English

[Chewy]

that would be my choice, but italians, germans and spanish might choose otherwise

i geuss the difference between ac3 5.1-ch english and ac3 2-ch english

is the sound output one is a 2 channel(left and right) output and the other is a 5 channel (or 5 +1 channel)

i geuss the 2 channel takes up less bytes then the 5+1 channel. hence if one goes for 2 channel, the fit on the dvd woudl be better, correct?

[Chewy]

2 channel is often the director's commentary soundstream, I always use
ac3 5.1 and cut other crap out
