I have a dvd and i want to convert it in avi.
as i understood vlc doesn't allow me to choose wich audio tracks (languages) use for audio.
So i make open dvd with vlc and then i make convert, i choose audio/video format and i save the file but the saved file is only video and doens't have any audio track.
What did i wrong? how can i choose which audio (languages) integrate into the saved (converted) file?
Is possible to convert a multi-audio dvd?

There are much easier tools for DVD -> AVI conversions (like Handbrake 0.9.3). In VLC you can select the audio track with

Code: Select all

--audio-track=<integer>    Audio track
          Stream number of the audio track to use (from 0 to n).
      --audio-language=<string>  Audio language
          Language of the audio track you want to use (comma separated, two or
          three letter country code, you may use 'none' to avoid a fallback to
          another language).
      --audio-track-id=<integer> Audio track ID
          Stream ID of the audio track to use.

And if you want to know what part of transcode fails, then open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the transcoding part.
