But tgunn,between you & me(hopefully),i wouldn't do what i 100% know you are thinking.The definitive is being worked on......Shhhhhh

Exactly. If the original audio was mono, then reducing the lossless stereo LPCM to mono would not make it lossy, and it would fit on a DVD5. I HATE DVD9s and splitting one into two DVD5s. I do it when I must, as I recently did with CologneShark's Steve Miller DVD9.

I quadrupled the volume on that one.

I hope whoever is working on the "definitive" increases the volume in Goldwave, it makes a HUGE difference. I will probably DL it even if it's a DVD9, just to extract the audio. My "decompressed" AC3 version sounds great, I sincerely hope the one being worked on sounds as good or even better. I'm also curious to see if my ears can tell the difference.

Thanks for replying.
