I know this is off-topic, but I'll seek wisdom anyway. Technically, it's a topic better suited to the ripping/encoding forum, but since the query is not about using LMS I'll post it here. Ignore if you want.
I was looking at the new posts in the albums of the year thread, and re-read my post of last year. It reminded me of ELP's Trilogy recording and the remaster I bought in 2015. One of the discs in the package was a DVD that contained a high-res 5.1 mix of the album. Since I've been ripping DVD's to my server (same one as running LMS) and streaming them to my home theatre, I thought I'd do that with this one, so I could listen to it in surround without bothering with the disc. This would take me back to a concert at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, where we had obscure seats in the grays. Which were obstructed. An usher reseated us on the floor, within the space defined by speakers in the corners. The original surround sound.
Anyway, it seems that the DVD is DVD Audio (it's labelled as such), not regular DVD. I thought DVD-A was long gone but apparently not. In any event, my regular DVD ripping software seems not to work with DVD-A, and I can't figure out how to get the audio out into an MP4. The disc plays fine on my Samsung mid-tier BluRay player, which I didn't even know had DVD-A capability. I actually thought that perhaps the disk was "dual" with regular DVD sound, but if so my ripping software can't find it.
Any advice?
