None taken! =D I do understand that every country has to have different standards (actually, I don't understand that at all but I know it exists anyway). Either way, my DVD player would never play any audio with the mythburn scripts when I used them last winter because the sound was MPEG2 PCM I believe and I had to manually configure the DVD player to play that sound, but then none of my nornal DVDs would play unless I switched back (and it was a pain to do). Also, it won't play the audio by default in Windows Media Player either. After doing some research, I found that AC3 was a DVD standard, and I thought was important to announce in this thread, not taking into account that there might be different "standards" across the globe. I mentioned it on the the mythburn thread on the knoppmyth forums several times, but no one thought it was that important at the time. > I hope to include optional audio conversion in the next mythburn tarball > this weekend.

I'm SOOOO happy to hear this! I've been waiting for a true DVD archiving solution for a long time and I've loved the idea of the mythburn scripts, especially the fact that it can be done via mythweb, but they were never a good solution for me due primarily to the audio problems. But, what I've been doing recently is almost better... I've been transcoding to MPEG4 (XVid) and saving like 25 half-hour shows to disk rather than 4. Good Luck! Maybe this will eventually become an official part of mythtv/mythweb? ;-) Thanks!
