Hi all,
obviously we are now discussing 2 different problems. I want to summarize them here for clarification:
1. DVDs (at least in the PAL/SECAM area, as stated by Lucian Muresan) CAN contain MP2 audio tracks! Commercial DVDs mostly don't use this feature (instead they include AC3 2.0 Mono tracks, e.g. localized synchronisations of Star Trek: TNG DVD sets). If you create own DVDs from TV broadcasts (e.g. with vdrconvert), you normally get MP2 audio tracks (eventually as secondary tracks to a existing DD audio track if the station/VDR supports it). To my knowlegde the MP2 audio track is ALWAYS decoded by the DVD player. The must support it by the specs. The decoded PCM audio is obviously supported by any amplifier, even when transmitted via digital links (I hope this explains the problem for you, Werner). So this "problem" can be seen solved!
2. The original Mail asked for quiet another problem: If you want to record DD audio although you don't have DD equipment (at least connected to your vdr machine), you have to set UseDolbyDigital=1. If you do so, recordings will contain DD data it provided but VDR will replay MP2 audio over the analog outputs. The dvd plugin misunderstands the setting a bit by only providing the DD audio over the digital outputs but no audio over the analog outputs any more. The correct solution IMHO is to both provide DD audio over digital output AND decoded DD audio over analog output! So this is a feature request/bug report for the maintainer(s) of the dvd plugin (Hi Sven & Co!). THIS IS WHAT SHOULD BE DISCUSSED NOW!
