What do you think? @Klaus, the plugin of course has to choose if to use ac3 or not, it can't evidently do both simultaneously. So the plugin could just provide another setup parameter itself. But I think it's fine that the plugin uses VDRs Dolby setting and I also think that having seperate dolby settings in VDR for playback and recordings (like introduced by my patchset) comes in handy and is not a problem at all. But then again, it's your software - you're the boss :) Cheers mic
