When I capture with the DVD import plugin, how do I select the different sound tracks or subtitle tracks to capture? It seems to only capture the default soundtrack.
Any help appreciated,
Cheers.

Yes, Heinz-oz I am trying to capture a non-copyrighted DVD with multiple soundtracks and subtitle tracks. I have done a few tests and am able to capture it with what looks like all the sound tracks but no subtitle tracks. When I play back the .mpg in a player like Nero Showtime I can select from the different soundtracks. ie. they are all there, but only the default shows up in msp8. Why would the caputre tool, which I have to say is astoundingly fast compared to my previous program DVDx, show all the different soundtrack and subtitle streams if you can't select between them?
System is a 3.4 Ghz Pentium, 2Gb RAM, RAID0 Capture drive. More than enough power for this.
The device is actually an emulated DVD drive with a mounted image.
It appears to me to be a limitation in the capture plugin, maybe an update will sort it out?
Steve: I don't think you understand my first post. I'm talking about the multiple streams within a DVD, like different language versions of the same video, or a voice over by the director type thing.

That's what I thought troppo. I have never done it but I don't think that this is the aim of the program at all. It is meant to do video editing of clips captured with a camcorder.
If the DVD is already authored to DVD, with different sound tracks and subtitles etc. use a shareware tool like DVDShrink to select only the tracks you want and discard the rest.
The DVD capture tool, as I see it, is meant to facilitate the capture of video (mpeg2) taken with DVD camcorders or DVD recorders.

Ok, that must be it. It's a pity, since it is so much faster than my previous software, minutes instead of hours!
It still doesn't explain though, why there is a list of the available soundtracks and subtitle tracks in the tabbed windows above the preview screen. All they need is a little check box next to them and presto!
