Stereo to AC3

[nexious]

hi there, ive recently made a home made video with music and effects and everyting, im getting ready to burn it to dvd, however i was wondering how or if its possible to convert it into an AC3 stream for the full 5.1 effect?

One possibility is Sonic Foundry's SoftEncode (if you can locate it)

no others eh, i checked some retailers and they seem to only carry a Cinemacraft Encoder..but not soft encode

you can use The AC3Machine from http://dspguru.doom9.org

did somebody locate the "Sonic Foundry's SoftEncode", i can't find it.
and what are the features of this program ?
can it do something else or just encode ac3 ?

when you convert Stereo to AC3, do you get audio in all channels or do you get a ac3 with audio only in the 2 front channels ?

setarip u sure bout that did'nt u need seperate 5 inputs for that u cant go stereo to ac3 5.1. maybe ac3 2 channels.

isn't why prologic evolved to prologic II so stereo could be used for 5.1. otherwise we could have done our stereo's to sc3 5.1, who needs prologic II then ?
