You need to render audio and video seperate in vms6.
Render to mpg2 for dvd architect then render the sound as
a wave file in advanced render and insted of default change to 48khz
then when you move to dvd architect it doesn't render anything.

Thank you both...
My intent was to change the sample rate when I do the extract ... before using the audio in my project.....so that when I use this piece of music in DVDAS, there won't be any recompression....

Then you'll need some software that will do this for you. As I recall, the sample rate for audio on a CD is 44.1Khz, so the ripping software is ripping exactly what's already there.

DVDAS isn't recompressing as much as it's resampling to 48Khz; if you were to pull the audio in to movie studio and then render it out as a 48Khz wave file you'd be doing the same thing.

CDex may be able to do this for you, but there's probably not much point. If you use sound effects, they're not likely to be 48KHz, or you might want to use web sources like freeplaymusic which will be mp3 or wma. Much easier to use whatever's available and then follow Scott's suggestion and have VMS do the conversion in one go.
