Hi,

Using transcode 1.1.0 with no great skill I am attempting to extract
an ac3 stream directly from title 1, chapter 1 of a DVD. Can I ask
some guidance on my obvious failure? I drew most of the syntax from
the Transcode FAQs:

How can I save the audio track of a DVD directly to a WAVE file
suitable for burning onto an Audio CD?
