Re: [dvd::rip] ac3

[Christian Lambert <clambert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Transcode has already the ac3-passthru function which let you
keep the original soundtrack from the DVD in ac3 format.

The only problem is to identify the ac3 bitrate which is often
384/448kbit and then calculate the one or two CD rip bitrate (probably
two in our case with AC3).

I don't think the code from transcode is able to identify the
ac3bitrate yet, once this is done, it's probably just a new
feature that could be added to dvd::rip.

Meanwhile, if you know the AC3 bitrate, you can maybe force
the transcode command line option in dvd::rip and see if
it'll work right.

The important flag is -A and -N 0x2000

In terms of playback, both xine and mplayer supports AC3 decoding embedded in
AVI (divx3/divx4) files.

Hope that helps.
