"Hello Klaus! I use 1.3.23 and have a little request. Could you please change the Dolby Digital handling in a way that you can choose to use Dolby Digital during playback and for recordings seperately? An example: I use the analog out on my DVB card, so whenever DD is played directly through J2 I hear nothing. So now I can hit VDR's settings and set 'Use Dolby Digital' to 'no'. Now I have sound over analog. But when I start a recording of a program which offers DD VDR doesn't record the DD stream. But I'd definately go with DD when prepping the recording for a DVD. Of course I could switch 'Use Dolby Digital' on everytime I'm about to record but that's not quite handy. I know for normal VDR playback this isn't much of an issue because all the channels available send an mpg audiostream and VDR defaults to that stream on playback so I have analog output even while 'Use Dolby Digital' is set to 'on'. But the DVD plugin also uses the 'Use Dolby Digital' option. And there're often DVDs that only contain DD tracks so that I'm left with no audio signal while 'Use Dolby Digital' is set to 'on'. That's why I'd like to have two settings for DD; one for playback, the other for recordings. What do you think of this?

Thanks

Sebastian"

Hallo,

I read the request about changing the DD handling for recording and for viewing purposes and discussing it on 'VDR-Portal' I myself find it useful to have DD recorded with programms. As I very often use my tv speakers for output it is anoying to hear nothing as of the DVB-Setting set to 'use Dolby Digital'.

Thanks, Aron

if you set 'use Dolby Digital', your recordings will contain DD. If you don't want to hear DD, just select a non-DD track in the audio menu (Menu-Green) once. It will be remembered.

Hm, I will give it a try, but as far as I know it wont work vor DVD-Audio thenm as it is 'downsampled' within the DVB-Card. Right?
