Greetings,

I am having a heckuva time extracting some music off of a DVD given to
me recently. I'll add that this is my first experience ripping DVDs of
any sort. I will give a step-by-step account of what I've done and
perhaps someone can point out where I went wrong:

1. I opened SmartRipper in Movie mode, it states there is no encryption,
and I see exactly one program chain and a set of 18 chapters that seem
to correspond to the audio tracks on the disc. They are selected by
default.

2. I head over to the Stream Processing tab and note that it tells me:
0xA0 Audio Not Specified LPCM (2ch) 96khz 24bit
This is pretty much what I expected from the disc. I enable stream
processing and de-select everything but the Audio stream, and choose
"Demux to extra file."

3. I expect to get a 24bit 96khz WAV file as an output, but this is not
what I get--when I load it (the WAV file produced once ripping is
complete) in foobar or Audacity or besweet, they all call it a 16-bit
48khz file! When I try to play it, it's just a bunch of noise.

Basically, smartripper seems to be spitting out an WAV that is not
actually a WAV in the sense that other programs can use it. What might
I be doing wrong?

Thanks for any help,

-Zac
