[mdlug] Speaking of audio formats...

[Brian]

It kinda sounds to me like you encoded a 5 channel surround sound track.
Most lossy formats only support a left and right channel.  It also could be
24 bit audio instead of 16.  These would both cause the huge file size and
the lack of support by other codecs.

Today I tried to rip the soundtrack from a DVD (actually, from the bonus
material: music videos of the songs) using VLC.  "Media ->
Convert/Save...", specify the right chapter, select an output format;  I
tried several MPEG variants but kept getting error-messages, then
selected Ogg Vorbis and got it to work.

However,  what I obtained is four huge video files that only VLC can
play;  about 200 MB for a 10-minute song.  Is there some way to
re-encode just the audio tracks as MP3 or WMA, so I can copy them to a
portable music player?

Working under Ubuntu Intrepid, but I played one of the files back using
vlc under Debian Etch.

Also,  has anyone gotten some sort of streaming audio protocol to work
over an SSH tunnel?
