Great faq Somejoe! Thanks. I now know how bad I've been destroying the audio.

Can you give us more input on how to fix an AC3 5.1 file?

Ex. After reading your faq, when I demux a file that has 5.1 AC3 audio I use the file verify option in soft encode to check it. If the diagnorm is -27 and it sounds ok I don't touch it. However, I have one that sound encode will not open. Any ideas how to fix it without destroying the quality?

I also have one that the diagnorm says reserved. Any idea what that means? Is this a good thing?

What if I just want to add light compression to a 5.1 AC3 file? Ieas on that?
