Probably. If it is a PAL disc, then in theory it shouldn't be as the DVD spec for PAL discs allows for mpeg audio streams, and so your player should support it (that doesn't mean it does though). (The PAL spec allows for MPEG and PCM audio only) The DVD spec however does not allow for mpeg audio for NTSC discs (AC3 and PCM only).
Given however that AC3 is widely used for PAL discs - Dolby Digital is a form of AC3 - and mpeg is very rare (I'm not sure I've ever seen any commercial PAL discs with mpeg audio), a lot of manufacturers are dropping the mpeg audio support.

Basically your best bet is to use AC3 audio (as PCM takes up too much space).
