Is it at all possible to get the BBMPEG encoder to output PCM WAV
audio streams instead of MPEG1/MPEG2 audio when using it to encode
DVD-complant MPEG2 files? If so, how? It seems that BBMPEG is not
able to do this, though I thought I'd ask anways, just in case there's
a setting somewhere that I'm missing.

I ask because as I understand it, using MPEG compressed audio of any
kind for DVDs is not 100% supported in all set-top DVD players, and I
hear that using PCM WAV audio (or AC3 encoded audio) is actually a
much safer bet.

PCM occupies a lot; so much, that I would rather run the risk of using
mpeg audio -which, on the other hand, seems to play fine in most
players, even if its not a standard for NTSC ones (it is for PAL
ones). But in any case, the best option is to use Ac3 audio, which you
can encode separately, then mux with the video.
