I decided to compress all my dvd files for my Popcorn Hour to a smaller form factor to save space on my hard drive. When I loaded up Handbrake it alerted me to a new version I could download. I did, and began converting with the new program. After doing several at the default settings, I tried playing them back on the Popcorn Hour and could not get any Dolby Digital sound! Even if I selected it with or without a downmixed AAC stereo version, I would only get the AAC version. So, I tested and restested, and was about to give up. Then I googled MP4 and Dolby Digital and found out that MP4 does not natively support it. I switched to the mkv container, like I used to use, and what do you know, it worked! I could also include the director's commentary soundtrack and select it on the fly while playing. Awesome!
Now, my computer is still going to be tied up for a few more days while converting....
