Re: Transcoding Audio Tracks on Video Files

["Simon Daykin" <simons.lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Many thanks for this,  I was unaware of AutoGKs ability to encode two
streams,  this is really cool!  Basically,  I wanted a way to easily and
quickly make DVDs available from my ShowCenter with mp3 audio tracks.  At
present I don't have a digital amp so will need the mp3 stream until a) I
get a digital amp or b) Pinnacle turn on the AC3 downmix (apparently its
technically easy,  they have "licensing" issues).  My PC is only
a p500 so I
was getting fed up with spending hours encoding each DVD when I was only
going to have to dump them when I can use the AC3 stream....

Thanks again,

Simon
