How to Play "English Audio Descriptive Service"?

Postby wpatters » 02 Aug 2012 05:07

One of the "languages" available on a ripped DVD is "English Audio Descriptive Service," which provided 2 soundtracks--the film's original soundtrack plus an additional track that provides audio descriptions of the action of the film for people who are blind.

I would like to choose this version of the DVD and burn only this version of the video and audio to a new DVD. I've tried playing every .VOB file but none has the audio description track.

Any idea how I can do this? Thanks in advance for your help. --Bill

Handbrake would be a great way to rip the proper VOB file, but I can't figure out how to "find" the version of the film that has this additional soundtrack. I've done this once before via Handbrake, and it was fairly easy to find the proper version through trial and error. That's not working this time. Strange. Thanks for your response.

Success! Your suggestion of Handbrake sent me back to try again. I found the audio track I needed. It's a single track that combines both the film's soundtrack and the extra audio description track. It worked perfectly. I've got what I need. Thank you again for your help.
