[vlc] Re: No audio in MPEG2 TS file created with VLC streaming

[Bob Yeaw]

I have the same problem, though I'm streaming to various hardware decoders.
I asked about it a while ago and was told that "VLS's way of streaming AC-3
isn't compliant to the standards so only (VLC) can read this, try streaming
with VLC if you want to multicast AC-3 audio."

I haven't had much success using vlc for multicasting dvd's but maybe it'll
work better for you.  (The overall quality has always been poor; pixelated
video, choppy audio and what not.)

good luck!
