Hey guys, I've been trying to rip DVDs using Mac the Ripper in "feature only" mode. The problem I'm having is that I end up with the director commentary no matter what movie I rip. What am I doing wrong?

Why don't you just do the whole DVD and then just rip out the movie after?

Sounds like you are choosing the wrong audio track

A-ha! I bet that's it.

Should I use handbrake for that?

Use DVD2oneX or Toast 8 or 9.

Just rip the whole DVD using MTR and then Handbrake to encode it. That's pretty much the norm around here.

Tried DVD2oneX. I had the same problem.

Thanks! Will do!

Then you're definitely not going into the audio options and selecting the main audio track.

How do you know which one it is?

Director's audio is usually only 2 channels while the main audio track is 5 or 6 I believe.

PBKC = Problem is Between the Keyboard and the Chair.

I had this problem and it was PBKC. Turns out the main feature was not English (Pan's Labyrinth - the main feature is Spanish). So, when I selected the English audio track in Handbrake, the only English audio track was encoded and it happened to be the Director's Commentary. Turns out this DVD has English Subtitles but is not dubbed in English.
