my idea would be the following: as far as i know audio-dvd is the same thing in general as a video dvd, but instead of, or possibly also besides, the video_ts dir on a video dvd, audio data has to be put in similar naming maner into audio_ts (or something like that). those directories have to be isod with a videodvd flag, or simply using k3bs functions for that. k3b show a window to pop files in, usually a bunch of mpg videos, but you could try that with mpg audio. id try to encode the waves (why not also first put all channels into one wave with a tool like snd) into some mpg1 multichannel audio. thats just a ruff guess how to do this, but maybe it helps. mfg sonicx On Thursday 06 April 2006 10:49, Aaron Trumm wrote: > Hello all... > > For those that I haven't already asked this directly *grin* - does anybody > know of software to encode dolby 5.1 (or DTS 5.1 - preferably both) in > linux? > > that, and how exactly this process would go - i'm getting into doing music > for 5.1 here at ccrma and sure I can route six channels around, or 5 or 8 > or 10, and mixdown to whatever, but once i've got 6 wave files, that's > where i'm clueless as of yet. > > the analogy being: for stereo i've got two wav files - well ok one 2 > channel wav file. to bring it to a buddy's house, i've got to use cdrecord > or k3b or xcdroast to burn a cd - voila. easy stuff, we all know that. > > but what about to bring a 5.1 dvd-audio to a buddy's house? hell i don't > even know what i'd do in windows or mac. take six seperate .wav files and > open up iDVD or DVD studio pro and say "ok these are the six channels make > a dvd"? *scratches bunny head* > > no I don't know why bunny > > thanks in advance! :) > > ---------------------------------- > Aaron Trumm > NQuit - www.nquit.com > CCRMA, Stanford University > http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~atrumm > ----------------------------------
