Hi everybody!

I'm using dvd::rip 0.98.11 with Ubuntu 10.04 and I was trying to rip a 
DVD with the original AC3 audio track. So I tried this, with the english 
audio track (track0) and choose discard for all other tracks. This works 
fine, but as soon as I choose another audio track, dvd::rip freezes for 
about a minute and I receive a finished message in the log. The 
resulting avi has a size of 0 KB, because it never really started. This 
is not a problem with one special DVD, I tested this with several DVDs 
and always dvd::rip freezes during the second pass (if 2-pass encoding) 
or at the first pass (single pass). So I tried to use track 0 as primary 
track and another audio track as seconds track. This works fine until 
the second audio track is merged, here I get an error message, that the 
merging failed.

Except for the audio settings I leave all other setting with the default 
values.

When I use mp3 encoding it works with all audio tracks as primary track 
and a get a result. Want did I wrong or maybe this is a bug in 
dvd::rip/transcode?

Thanks,
Volker
