madshi,

Thanks for your tool, it works incredibly well.

I'd like to ask (and you would seem to be the best person to answer this) -- why is it that Dolby Digital Plus (.eac3) tracks from HD-DVD cannot be muxed to Blu-Ray and played on a Blu-Ray player? Is there that much of a fundamental difference between the .eac3 used on HD-DVD and what should/could be used on BD?

I own several HD-DVDs and would like to (in some instances) use the HD-DVD .eac3 track directly on a BD back-up, but I've never been able to get it to work. I always have to change the audio to something else (DTS, PCM, or standard AC3).
