<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have successfully ripped dvd files from some TV shows I am trying to store on my harddrive (Battlestar Gallatica - Season 2). The resulting files play fine, except no ac3 audio is passed through my s/pdif connection. When I play the dvd, the audio comes through just fine. What may I be missing? I am recording the shows at the "excellent" setting. And I have the encode with AC3 selected. Finally, looking at the mplayer command line (alt-ctrl-f1 and looking at the output) it show ac3 is there, but it doesn't show up on my receiver.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh, one bonus question -- what's the best way to start mtd? It doesn't start at bootup and pressing 0 doesn't work (wrong path?). I start it at the command line, and all works fine from there.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for the help.</DIV>
