[MEncoder-users] encoding ac3 audio from dvd

[Dave Henderson]

Gang,

    I am trying to rip the audio from a DVD in the ac3 format.  Seems very simple according to the mplayer homepage documentation.  However, I get errors when I try to rip it (listed below):


jack:/dvd/VIDEO_TS# mplayer VTS_05_0.VOB -aid 128 -dumpaudio -dumpfile /opt/rip/5.ac3

Any ideas?
