Cool, I have attached my little script, but basically this is what it does does a 2 pass mencoder (just copy the audio stream) then I pull out the audio work with sox and then use mencoder to put the audio back into the avi (or .divx) on my reading up on this I found that divx allows for dolby digital (ac3 ?), could I use the wav file and change it to ac3 and then use mencoder to merge it back in ? I am presuming its not worth the effort because of the original source is only mp3 comments ? Alex > > Phil > >
