PS3 fast forward no sound problems

[Oliver Christmas]

Thanks for the reply Michael.  Yes I have an archived version.

You mention "You can extract and re-encoding the sound track with the
correct parameters and it fixes the problem on existing files".  Could
you tell me how I can do this - especially as a batch job on a folder
of files?  Also is there a "media properties viewer" type program that
would show if the audio is encoded incorrectly?

Thanks again.
