let no one misunderstand me here. I didn't say I didn't like PCM, It's nice to have, but in a situation when you have limited space (4.7GB) and are trying to get as best a picture quality as possible, then AC3 sound with good encode is infinitely superior.

same goes for filling the disc with moving menus and trailers etc. my menus are under 35mb, that's 7 images, 7 looping audio tracks for them, + the main film and movie audio.

maximum space for movie image, then a 2.0 dolby stereo Ac3 file made from the PCM recording.

If you're going dual layer then yeah, PCM is great to have, I just think it's a waste of time on a DVD5 that's all. there are better things to use you disk space on.
