Re: [OT] Convert .mpeg file from stereo to mono?

[LeeUKHA <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ian,

Both VLC and WMP both play the .mpeg files just fine, sounds and video.
Interestingly, Gspot tries to render it and then put "n.a."  in
the
video and audio code boxes, but in the DirectShow box it says it's using
the Ligos MPEG splitter and the Ligos MPEG decoder....

Any idea what this means?
