        That's Bernhard's area - the sgml sources for the manpages aren't
        in the main tree so editing them is pointless.   The master sources
        need to be changed and the .1 files recreated.

        One of those "if you have to ask you probably should leave it alone"
        options? :-) :-)

        It's the precision of the DC component.   Most commercial DVDs
        use -D 10 but mpeg2enc defaults to 9 to save a few bits.   A value
        of 11 is only valid at the next MPEG-2 profile/level so it's not
        a currently meaningful value to use.

        The bug probably refers to the MPEG-2 multichannel extensions (I do not
        know of any free encoders that support that at the present time).

        AC3 does indeed work, and so does LPCM (but spending 1.5Mb/s on audio
        is wasteful - at least until the dual layer recorders come out later
        this year).

        The reference to AC3 should probably be removed from that sentence.

        Cheers,
        Steven Schultz
