basically you need to treat the audio and video streams separately and then put them back together again. The best tool i have found for this sort of thing is called ripmake http://www.lallafa.de/bp/ripmake.html however i would have thought that the audio stream was the least of your problems? generally the video part of the stream is way bigger (but obviously your mileage will vary :-) > Any ideas welcome. > Cheers > > Anton > ps video is no probs, just audio... > > -=-=- > ...
