>> See above, it highlights the extension to draw your eye to change it.

>>>
>>>     Another suggestion is to differ between application format like
>>>     DVD-Video and BD-Video vs Data Disks (for MP3)
>>>     and differ between applications mandatory formats on optional
>>>     formats that may or may not work.

>>     I don't know why, but this way to render DVD with CinGG, creates

>>     (that is dvd.m2v+dvd.mp3).
>>
>>
>> Yes, you will have to edit dvd.sh to change ac3 extension to mp3 
>> (file written as mp3 if you do not change it, but really mp2).  Do
