It's partly for the tagging and partly because as long as I'm taking the data off the DVD in the first place, I might as well have it in some kind of standard, non-proprietary format.

They must be standard multichannel FLAC without any MLP, because the box I'm using to play them doesn't have the DVD-A/MLP plugin for Foobar2000 installed. Kiwi;483404 Wrote: > > 3.

It can also natively stream the higher 2-channel bitrates that the Squeezebox needs to have transcoded, though I don't have a problem with the transcoding. I'm really only doing this to back up the lossless multichannel mixes, for everything but those I'm still extremely happy with the Squeezebox. Kiwi;483404 Wrote: > > 4.

I don't believe any audio is being passed to the TV, but I can't check that at the moment. I've never had any reason to look into it, to be honest. -- atrocity ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68176 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
