I appreciate the pointer -- I read those to get as far as I did, and  
i'm still reading them.  I'm trying this now:

./VLC ~/work/Preview1711206.trp --sout  
'#transcode{acodec=ac3}: 
standard{access=file,mux=ts,url=Preview1711206_transcoded.trp}'  
--noloop

... but this doesn't work, either.  In fact, when I do it this way,  
there is no audio in the resultant file (though the video plays  
correctly).  Using the GUI to do the same thing works, though.

Regards,

John
