Hey i'm a newbie to these forums, but i'm not a newbie to Virtualdub. I used to use it to encode my videos for DCDIVX (for those of you without dreamcasts it was a little program that allowed you to play divx movies on your dreamcast).
So anyway on to my question i just downloaded the
AC3Filter v0.68 and it fixed a problem with a video I downloaded that said the video was fine but i needed some type of AC3 codec.
Not only did the filter fix my problem but I also hooked it up to my reciever by my tv through an optical cord (much better than my computer speakers) and when i played it the display on my reciever said "DOLBY DIGITAL 2/0" (the 2/0 means stereo). But this is better sound quality than say playing a CD through my computer to the reciever. So I was pretty surprised that I could download a movie encoded with DVD quality stereo (instead of just CD quality like most avi's or mpeg's). But if thats possible than I thought that maybe I could encode my mp3's or rip my CD's into Dolby Digital and boost the sound quality. But all I have been able to find is the opposite "AC3 to MP3" which doesn't help me because i'm NOT trying to Rip my DVD's to my hard drive. And I just downloaded the moded Vdub with the AC3 support but you have to have a video file to do anything with Vdub so that doesnt help me either.
So what i'm trying to ask is does anyone know if there is a way to convert an MP3 into any kind of AC3 format? Because It would be so cool if I could "up convert" my stereo source into Dolby Digital.
I have also TRIED to install a52dec-0.7.4.tar.gz but im to stupid to know how to open or install it (and yes I have tried to do it with stuff it)
Any help would be great. Thanx.
