Yeah, I realized that after I posted that message.  Anyway, I was able 
to transcode the file to an mpg file, but when I play it, I don't have 
any sound.  I selected option 2 in your script ("Convert original audio 
track to 2-channel AC3") because option 1 ("Copy original audio track 
unmodified") gave an error concerning -oac "copy" not being right.  The 
video looked good but like I said, no audio.

What would you recommend for the audio to get it working?

Thanks,
Harry
