Just for you.

Why, thanks, I appreciate it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, I can just use DVD Santa in that case.
Out of curiosity, how does Ulead DVD Workshop 2 work quality-wise when it doesn't have to convert anything? Anybody know? Cause I've never burned anything with it since I've always had to convert it and (my version anyway) won't take AC3 files, which is why I'd need LPCM for that. It'll convert video and audio but I've heard it does a shitty job at it.
--EDIT--
Tell ya what. I'll do another burn of Balance while I'm out today, without omitting the quote at the beginning like I did before (that may be the reason it doesn't play on my Toshiba in my room). If that works fine upstairs, forget the whole PCM/AC3 thing and do it whatever way is easiest to you, I'll use DVD Santa for it.
