Has anyone had less then desirable results using the Disk Writer plugin? For a while I was using this to do some audio conversions for DVD creation, and the resulting wavs sounded like someone turned the treble full-blast or something. It was very harsh. This was in 2.x but I'd be suprised if they really changed all that much in that plugin.

Now for almost everything I do, I import the audio file into Cool Edit Pro. I know, not the free solution you wanted, but I can take pretty much any file and turn it into several other types. More importantly, I can up the bitrate to get 44.1 files up to 48 for DVD. And there's no difference in the result that I can hear.
