thanks
If your flac was created from the lossless soundtrack at this point your only choice is to convert the audio to LPCM before stuffing it in a m2ts container. Unfortunaty your file size will increase dramatically, I've seen 4-7GB per file.

I ended up dumping the popcorn hour and putting a HTPC in it's place. With madshi's madflac directshow filter, my MKV's work flawlessly and the Media Portal interface is sooooooo much richer than the popcorn hour and/or the YAMJ plugin for iHome.
