[mythtv-users] MythArchive/dvdauthor fails; Cannot Find Chapter 2 (Result: 1)

Wed Jun 7 03:03:21 UTC 2006

Ok...I take it back..I did have a stream0.ac3 file after unchecking
Use FIFO. I played it in VLC on my Windows box and it sounded fine.

The stream info says it is using codec: a52.

Perhaps I am missing a codec somewhere?
