With transcode versions after 1.0.7, I cannot rip a DVD if I want more then one audio track. I use media-video/dvdrip, container format AVI, video codec xvid. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert a DVD with a multi language movie. 2. Run media-video/dvdrip. 3. Create a new project, scan the drive and rip the suggested track. 4. Change to "Transcode" tab. 5. Under "Audio options", press "Multi" and select second source track as first target track, and first source track as second target track. 6. Press "Transcode" Button. Actual Results: After a while, the process fails with an error message from avilib stating "file has no video output" Expected Results: Successful transcoding of video and second source audio track, subsequent merge of first source audio track. Dvdrip transcodes the second target audio track separately and then merges. The merge exits with a failure, but the actual problem is the first step: It creates an AVI file without a video track. Dvdrip does not catch the error, but stops on the unexpected resulting file. This is the transcode command line and output, when run on its own: $ transcode -Y 52,0,50,0 -A --progress_rate 25 -D 0 -w 1035,25 --progress_meter 2 -i /home/kai/dvdrip-data/Matrix/vob/001/ -y xvid -N 0x2000 -Z 720x406 -M 3 -x vob -a 1 -H 10 -o /home/kai/dvdrip-data/Matrix/avi/001/Matrix-001.avi -f 25.000 transcode v1.1.5 (C) 2001-2003 Thomas Oestreich, 2003-2009 Transcode Team libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.10 for DVD access libdvdread: Couldn't find device name. libdvdnav:DVDOpenFilePath:findDVDFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO failed libdvdnav:DVDOpenFilePath:findDVDFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP failed libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO. libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.10 for DVD access libdvdread: Couldn't find device name. libdvdnav:DVDOpenFilePath:findDVDFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO failed libdvdnav:DVDOpenFilePath:findDVDFile /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.BUP failed libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.

I forgot to mention that audio format is AC3 (passthrough) for both audio tracks (between steps 5 and 6).
tcextract seems to be broken. Commands are from transcode's output: $ tccat -i "/home/kai/dvdrip-data/Matrix/vob/001/" -t vob -d 0 -S 0 | tcdemux -M 1 -a 1 -x ac3 -S 0 -d 0 > audio1.ac3 [iodir.c] warning: left out 3 directory entries The above command creates an AC3 file with only the second audio track. If I add the next step (the first of two tcextract commands): $ tccat -i "/home/kai/dvdrip-data/Matrix/vob/001/" -t vob -d 0 -S 0 | tcdemux -M 1 -a 1 -x ac3 -S 0 -d 0 | tcextract -t vob -a 0 -x ac3 -d 1 > audio1.ac3 [iodir.c] warning: left out 3 directory entries This creates a 0-Byte audio1.ac3.
How is transcode-1.1.7?
No, same problem with transcode-1.1.7.
Are you sure this is a transcode fault and not simply dvdrip breaking because of being stalled for some ages? (and then not being adapted to the recent tools) :/
