Nothing in your guide explains how to keep the original audio in its original format. What you do re-encodes AC3 audio to AC3 audio. It does not copy the AC3 audio track. Basically you're wasting processor time on re-encoding audio unnecessarily.

When encoding DVDs using D2V creator, it's easy to retain the original audio track: Delete the audio encoding part (click "X" under audio portion of main page) then after clicking autoencode, click the check-box that says "add additional items". Click QUEUE, and then where you detail how to add subtitle tracks, you just select the audio stream that was demuxed by D2V creator. This just muxes back in the original audio with the newly encoded video.

I have yet to figure out a good way to retain (copy/pass-through) the original audio track when transcoding files like .mkv's or .avi's that already have an audio track muxed in.
