Perfected DIVX Stereo....Now I want 5:1 Help Me PLease!!

[Jedi Amblin]

Hey Peeps

Ive been quite happlily backing up my DVDs using CLADXP and Virtual DUB

I have

1)Extracted VOB as one big file then CLAD XP automatically produces a nice STEREO WAV.

2) I create my VFAPI file

3) Load that and WAV compress, leave and voila LOVERLY COPY OF MOVIE BUT IN STEREO!!!!

I WANT 5:1

Can any of you out there give me a procedure (if it involves other software then thats cool, some links would be nice) to RIP VOB AS ONE FILE AND EXTRACT AUDIO TO AN Dolby 5:1 format that I can then process in Virtualdub?

Is it possible?

Cheers

use dvd2avi to extract the ac3 [most of the time they ARE 5.1 but could be 2.0 as well!] sound streams and simply mux those ac3 with your avi file.

for muxing you should stick to some interleaving settings for those ac3 streams depending on their bitrate.

extracting via dvd2avi as well as muxing procedures can be found in my guide.

Thanks muchly, I got dvd2avi but

But no obvious way to extract 5:1 to a wav or similar? I looked at your website v cool...............

Forgive my incessant stupidity!

that must be be joke

ac3 to wav. is that wot u r saying, cos u can just do it using besweet or nandub

[UncasMS]

if you want 5.1 you're not supposed to change the ac3 in any way!

just mux this ac3(5.1) stream with your avi!

check the Ogg Vorbis project..

http://www.vorbis.com

you will improve the compression rate, better than ac3.
smartripper -> dvd2avi -> OggMachine -> OggMux.
i.e. vob -> ac3 -> ogg -> ogm (avi-like)

whats so good about ogg (your opinion Uncasms as well)

[UncasMS]

whats so good about ogg

lower file size for equal quality or better quality with same file size

[hacker_on_fire]

i'll check into it

uncasms what do you prefer

I've tested both mp3 and ogg, and i find mp3 to be the best
