Why not? it works... is there some obscure technical reason for not doing it? 
I have just tried GOPchop and have got it chopping bits of left, right and 
centre... that seems to work ok too

lame? I thought that was what we usually use to encode the audio ;-). I just 
can't see the point in putting up to 50meg aside for something i NEVER use or 
watch. I know I can get good quality using the options, and that is what I'm 
trying to learn about. The point is that if i use the same options without 
the credits then I will get better quality rips than you.
and, just some advice... unless you give reasons for things then there seems 
little points in bothering to write stuff.
