Figured out a temporary plan. If Encore wont allow me to transcode only the audio, they’re just going to send me audio files only and I can transcode them separatly and drop them in on the time line. Not sure what I was thinking when I was thinking that they’d have to reencode the entire project. Anyway, I tested the project in Encore and deleting the MP2 audio on the timeline will take away the giant audio file size and I can replace it with the AC3 audio.
So, if anyone knows if Encore will transcode only audio from a MPG 2 file with Audio/Video combined, I’d still like to know. If not, I have my reletivly quick fix.
Thanks.
