I suppose since I have the raw assets to create a DVD I should do it while I still can. It just takes an eternity for every encode and upload. MPEG2 only take about 12-17 hours to encode vs the 40+ hours for 1080P. The new DVD will most likely not have a menu but far superior image quality over the original one. Simply selecting the audio channels with your DVD remote should be enough to use it effectively.
However, the sample posted is VC1 with AC3 files encased in MKV. Please provide feedback if possible.
