i have backed up some dvd's with thoggen, and on some the resulting sound track gets distorted, especially from loud drums of rock videos, producing what sounds like 'pops' as on vinyl recordings. same problem with ffmpeg. even converting the ac3's to wav first doesn't help. anyone else notice this, and is there any work-around? thanks charles zeitler : Do What Thou Wilt : : Shall Be : : The Whole of The Law : --Aleister Crowley--
