I hate to be "that guy", but I do wish that people would not resample the audio.
- If the issue is that the guide track is 48 kHz, one can resample that track to 44.1 kHz and discard it after editing.
- If the issue is BD compatibility, people can either resample it themselves or two tracks (one that has been resampled and one that hasn't) can be released.
Moreover, resampling before release stops people from using better methods if/when they become available.
No worries about being "that guy", we all have a valid opinion. I know what you are saying Chew and I can only speak for myself and not others here. Since I sync all my tracks to their counterpart BDs, it only makes sense to convert said track to 48 for Blu-ray compatibility. I rip most of my BDs to MKVs on a hard drive so 44.1 vs 48 doesn't make a difference to me since a MKV can support both. On the other hand I realize a lot of people can't do that and wish to burn new BDs with the LD (or whatever source's) soundtrack. And most don't have the software to do a good 44.1 to 48 conversion without distortion/clipping. So at the end of the day I convert all my tracks to 48 for the greatest level of compatibility and keep the original 44.1 rips for future formats. I always keep the original rip.
