Hi,

I recently started using autogk and have made a couple of really nice 1-cd files of older films using the hidden "force encoding sound in mono mp3" option. However I have tried to encode three different films in 2-cd mode using the same mono option and i've ended up with a 2-ch mix. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

there is no conversion to mp3 in Auto audio mode for 2CD rips, so "force mono" option does nothing. you have to select MP3 type manually in advanced options.
