I have tried several times to separate the audio and video in the Gladiator into separate files with SmartRipper, but it just does not seem to be working. I followed one of the guides (Newbie DVD2DVD-R) located in this forum, but no luck. I have used SmartRipper before, but never to separate the files and have had tremendous success with it. However, I recently purchased a DVD Burner, so I would like to burn as much of the DVD's qualities onto a DVD-R. These are my setting in SmartRipper:

Stream Processing-
Enable Stream Processing = checked
Video NTSC = checked
Audio English AC3 (6 ch) = checked
Audio English AC3 = unchecked
Subtitles English = unchecked
Other = checked (no reason (did it with and without)

ID=0xE0-
Demux to entra file = checked for all the selected items above.
** went back over each one to ensure that "demux to extra file" was selected.

I then click on Start and let it run for about 2 hrs. After that period of time I have the mv2, a set of VOBs, IFO, d2v and prv files, but no audio file. Can anyone tell me what is wrong here or how I can accomplish this using a another method or another ripper. Thanks in advance.

you should have an ac3 file.

As I state in the guide MAKE SURE YOU CHECK Demux to extra file AFTER YOU SELECT EACH STREAM YOU ARE RIPPING. Doing it once does not do it for all of them, it only does it for each stream. You basically told it to demux the video, but leave the audio muxed.

rishardc,

Please read my post again, because I checked each individual stream at the first stream and after all stream where optioned for demux. I can assure you they were all selected for demux. That is why I don't understand why the files are not being separated.

Well if you got an M2V then at least one stream was being demuxed.

The video steam is there, but no audio, none.

Try using DVD Decrypter then. It does sound like you forgot to set the audio to demux... Yes, I know you "went back over each one (all 2 of them) to ensure that "demux to extra file" was selected".

I agree that the symptoms would suggest that I forgot to do that, but I can assure you I did. I have been through this step at least 4 times already. As for your suggestion, I'm going to try DVD Decrypter. Is there such a function in that ripper, for separating the audio and video? Thanks for you suggestion and comments.

Never mind. I found the option in DVD Decrypter, so I will give that a try.
