What I am asking about is where the description track is on a DVD. Or even if a DVD is going to come with a description track these days. You used to be able to buy video tapes with the descriptions from WGBH in Boston. They dropped that a long time ago. But I have seen discussions on other lists about people listening to descriptions while actually in a movie theatre. So I don't think the technology is dead. You would think they'd include it on a DVD, right? On 07/03/2018 09:38 AM, Eigeldinger Simon wrote:
Hi John,
I guess you could use Handbrake from the CLI or use ffmpeg. Haven't got any command line demos/examples at the moment.

Does anybody know anything about ripping the audio descriptions (DVS) from a DVD? I am not even sure movies come with DVS. I want to listen to the "Lord Of the Rings" movies and it turns out that it is cheaper to buy the DVDs than it is to download them. If I can figure out a way to rip the aDVS track, I figure I can listen to it while my family watches the movie. They don't have to be bothered with those descriptions.
