hi everyone,
i am 'ripping' my dvd onto my lan server as i have a 2.5 year old daughter that tries to put the dvd's into the player by herself, and so i have a few scratched discs.
my dilemma is that when i have ripped them, they are very big (eg 1.5 to 2.5 gb). the video is xvid. i beleive what is using up all the space is that the audio is ac-3 acm (6 channel).
if this is the problem, is there another codec i can use to keep the surround sound through xbmc?
thanks for any help you may provide,
ka hooli
