Won't do that.  I moved to encode2mpeg way back when tovid was recoded 
from script to python.

Won't use Gutsy as well.  I tried the 'upgrade' and lost virtualbox 
right off.  I re-installed Feisty.

I have a solution already:

#!/bin/bash
#transcodes AC3: 5.1 (3f+2r+lfe) 
#mencoder cannot copy ac3: copy does NOT work!!!!!  Got it?
#mencoder borks the channel mapping, so the -af channel mapping below!
#also, fix video to play on xvid capable DVD Player - Samsung 1080P7

FDATE=`date -I`
INFILE=$1
