Any tool except DVDFab…
I’m just finishing up a large encoding project where I’ve encoded all my DVDs to h.264 m4v files using Handbrake‘s "normal" preset. However, I’m noticing that the preset I chose doesn’t preserve the 5.1 surround sound tracks from my DVDs. For many of my DVDs I don’t particularly care about the surround sound, but for others I do care. Of course I could just start over and do it properly from within handbrake but I’ve had 5 computers working for about a week on encoding all my ripped DVDs so I’d rather avoid redoing that if I can.
Is there any way to add whatever surround sound track my DVDs have into the m4v files without reencoding the video?
If it matters, I’d like to play these files on my android phone, my wife’s iPhone, (hopefully) using the USB port on a Roku, and most importantly on three XBMC-based HTPCs. If there’s a non-free product that makes this possible or less painful, I’ll be happy to purchase it.
Thanks in advance.
When I put my computer to sleep, it turns on randomly throughout the night and when I turn the monitor on, its just on the lock screen. Any ideas why?
I read in another post that Sharp is best for tracking? Can anyone confirm this? If so, what models or type of sharp do you recommend?

I’ve tried this a number of ways but cannot get ffmpegX to load a set file and output video with subtitles. I’ve followed the instructions in the How-To as indicated. But it did not work.
Additionally (maybe part of the failure), I initially selected output as DVD-ffmpeg. The "How-To" said I should find a Movie directory with Video_TS and such. I only found some ff output files in my conversion directory. Once that was selected, all the "VOB" options for subtitling disappeared. I’m not sure it would matter what the output was, specifically. Before beginning encode, I checked the preview in the subtitles screen and sure enough the subtitles presented. But once output, they were not there.
I’ve read of potential subtitle strangeness with Lion’s QuickTime 10.1. QT10.1 no longer supports multi-layered video or so I’m told. So there was discussion of switching the subtitling to layer 0. But this doesn’t seem to work either. I saw carping related to Perian not working as a result of all this QT 10.1 stuff.
Finally I bought SubMerge hoping I could hard-code. I did, it looked fine in QT and VLC, but once output via Toast to DVD–subtitles gone! Amazing!
Does anybody have an idea on how to do this with ffmpeg in the simplest of situations (using an avi, set and Lion)?
It’s been a strange two days…
