The work flow you describe could be done in one pass. Just make sure that you have pre-stripped the DA-88. You might run into some issues with the 23.98 vs 29.97 time code difference. The seconds will match, but the frames will not. Also, the Dolby -E stream isn't really a suitable archival format. Do you not have the source that created the Dolby-E?

Could the LT/RT not be dumped at the same time as the Dolby E is being decoded provided that proper delays are used? |
