[MPlayer-users] Comment on DVD-ripping guide

You suggest using -nosound with pass 1 (that is the 2nd pass :-), i.e.
after ripping the audio to frameno.avi). On the mplayer ML, A'rpi just
explained why this is a bad idea. You should use -ac copy in this pass
as well as in the final pass.

Here is why:
