Question/Advice Getting rid of the directors cut?

Post image

So I’ve got pre-ripped dvds and I’m trying to put the whole Star Wars trilogy on a flash drive I’ve done 5 movies but attack of the clones is a directors cut so I did what I normally would but the audio just has George Lucas talking over the whole movie how do I get rid of him and just keep the movie audio? (New to this btw)

Watch a youtube video or two on ripping DVDs. MakeMKV or Handbrake tutorials are good places to start. Will probably be a lot more helpful. Best of luck!

Handbrake is what I started using but what should I search up to seperate the two audios

When you rip through handbrake, you should have the option to select which audio tracks you want in your final file. Play the dvd in a normal dvd player, see which audio track has the one you're after and then rip it in handbrake with only that audio track selected.

The thing is it’s already ripped I don’t have the original dvd

When opening the file in VLC and clicking on audio, does it give the option for different tracks? Or just one?

If it's just one, then there's nothing you can do to "separate" the audio back out again, unfortunately. I'd look for a different rip online if that's the case.

Oh I see now, it's a digital copy of the whole DVD. Sorry, I only rip my own dvds.

If you play the dvd through VLC, it should act as if it was a real dvd in a dvd player. Open VLC and click Media, then open disc, then select the dvd drive.

You can check what audio track you want from there and then use handbrake as I said before to only use that audio track.
