Tell me about it!
I am of course limited to digital PCM tracks here - I don't really have the resources nor inclination to go down the 5.1 AC-3 route, since they're often remixes and there are other folks on these boards who are already doing fine work on the important ones.
But you did decode the AC-3 2.0 track on the Star Trek II disc to get the PCM, didn't you? As far as I know, there is no PCM on it.
