I am quite new with VLC so excuse me if my question sounds a little basic.
I am trying to rip a number of DVDs with subtitles. The particular subtitles track I want to use appears to be hidden in some strange way. When using a DVD player, you can select it through the main menu - with no problem at all. However, when you try to rip the main movie, this subtitles track is not listed by default and therefore you cannot select it. Apparently the problem is that it only starts a few seconds after the beginning of the movie. You can change to it during playback, but it is not available for selection when you try to rip the movie.
VLC appears to be the only player that finds the track from the start (though not in a straightforward manner). If I go to Open Disc, and I choose the following parameters:
Title 19
Chapter 0
Subtitles Track 1
Audio Track -1
and then I hit "Play", the movie plays from the start and -after 4 or 5 seconds- the right subtitle track begins to show.
Fair enough. So I have turned to VLC to try and rip these DVDs.
The problem is that, when I click on CONVERT (instead of "Play"), and after choosing what I believe to be the default parameters for my output file, I get the following error message:
Code: Select all
Playback failure:
DVDRead could not open the disk "/dev/sr0@19 :sub-track=1 :dvdnav-caching=0".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/sr0@19 :sub-track=1 :dvdnav-caching=0'. Check the log for details. I have tried VLC both on Linux (Mandriva) and Windows but I always get the same result.
Any clues?
Thank you for help.
