[vlc] transcode to AC3?

[jmzorko at mac.com]

Hello, all ...

I'm trying to use VLC to transcode the audio in an MPEG2 PS, which is 
current mpga, to AC3 to conform to ATSC specifications.  However, i've 
not been successful.  This is what i'm doing:

./VLC ~/work/Preview1713420.mpg --sout '#transcode{acodec=ac3}' --sout 
file/ts:Preview1713420_transcoded.trp --noloop

... and when I play the resultant file (Preview1713420_transcoded.trp) 
in VLC, the Info window still shows that Stream 0 is mpga, while stream 
1 is mpgv.  I tried specifying "a52" instead of "ac3", but nothing 
changed.

How do I transcode from mpga to ac3 in VLC?  Any help is greatly 
appreciated!

Regards,

John
