Recording AC3 *a challenge for the best and brightest!*

The cooledit technique works great. As far as a good cheap card with bit-for-bit accuarate capture, the prodigy 7.1 from audiotrak works well for me. I was wondering if any of you guys have been able to play the ac3 stream from S/PDIF (on my computer -- NOT on an external decoder) in real time, and if so, how?

LD audio, record at 44.1 and resample vs. record at 48 

first of all WTF is my post doing in this thread?? second: AFAIK I CAN'T keep 44.1 on DVD

Re: LD audio, record at 44.1 and resample vs. record at 48 

it's 2 channel PCM audio I want to record via optical spdif "The sound card should force you to record this at the same sample rate as the input." <-- really? I'll try that, but i think mine let's me choice and in every LD FAQ I read it says that LD has 44.1

Yes all audio, be it PCM, DD or DTS on Laserdisc is definitely 44.1khz. Record natively in 44.1khz to avoid problems down the track, and resampleto 48 afterwards.
