Yes, the AC3 was decompressed to wav, when I dropped it into Tsunami DVD Author it said "LPCM" mono, as I deleted one channel and doubled the volume.
(as Bob the Guru suggested. On account of this I wondered if the original audio was mono.)

The full file was 1.2 GBs, the mono about 585 MBs, it fit perfectly onto a DVD5, with motion menu it came to 4.27 GBs, and sounds great.

But you do get back some of the compressed data. The AC3 audio is about 1/4 of the LPCM.

Anyway, KK knows what this is all about, so if says the definitive version is being worked on, expect something really exceptional to happen. The video on this DVD is excellent, and I expect the audio will be too.

Thanks for replying.
