How to import video from dvd with multiple audio stream

Post by tuanalan »

Hello all,

I was able to import a video title from dvd. However, only 1 audio stream was imported even though the video has 2 AC3 audio streams.

I'm using DVD Movie Factory 6+.
Can someone help with this?

Thanks in advance

Good question....I only have DMF 6 (not Plus), and was curious about your question, so I ran a test:

Popped a DVD in my drive and tried importing it with project settings at Dolby Digital 2 channel. The disc had both DD 5.1 sound and 2.0 sound. With the project settings as they were....it seemed to only import the 2.0 sound. Tried changing the settings to 5 channel sound (3/2), and it still seemed to only grab the 2.0 sound from the disc.

I then tried decrypting part of the disc to my harddrive, selecting only the 5.1 audio stream. Imported that folder into DMF with the project set for 5 channel sound....and the import file (so DMF told me) had 5.1 sound!

Can't figure out why there isn't an option to choose which audio stream one wants when importing directly from a disc. This was strange, IMHO... :shock:
