hello everybody I've been lurking for a while and I must thank you all for the advices and tips I got from you guys. thanks again. I do not own a Mac with DVD (only an old G3 desktop 266Mhz system 8.6) and I want to make a digital copy of the audio from a DVD to my Panasonic DAT SV-3700. The DVD player (of a friend of mine) is a top-of-the-line Sony with coax digital out, but I do not know if it comes out with a digital 5.1 channel signal or normal SPDIF. I could record the audio from the analog outs but I would prefer digital transfer... Any suggestions? thanks Massimo de Majo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Massimo de Majo www. piccolitraslochi.com massimo at piccolitraslochi.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
