Thanks to all who replied! Mark, I've tried the switches you suggested, no
joy. I also tried -p, -d, -k, -h, even tried changing the output sampling
frequency to 48kHz with no luck. I also have discovered that this DVD player
can play back Fraunhofer encoded VBR files as well as CBR with no problems!
Anyway, if you're willing to send me the modified version of LAME for
testing, I'm game. I'd really like to be able to help and use LAME instead
if I can.
Thanks again.
