No. I googled for the basics on how to use the dvd:rip, and then played
with it for about an hour. By that time I had my bearings about how it
worked, so I figured I give it a shot. Up until now I had been doing
this by hand with tcextract, tcscan, tcprobe, mencoder, transode,
dvdauthor - it was very time-consuming, and every file had to be input
by hand, so this was a welcome relief.

I did open the vob directory in vlc player, and it does play on my
laptop in English. However, I noted that by switching audio tracks, that
all the tracks are in the vob. 1 & 2 are english, 3 is spanish, 4 is
french, and 5 is english with commentary. I saved the logs from the
project if that would help, but I'm just a bit confused as to why
DeVeeDe burned the .iso
