If you're just looking to dump 6 audio streams into a wav file that's easy enough to do. There are several apps that can do that, but I've only used ReZound to do that. I'm not sure if there is a particular channel order to get it mapped to specific speakers though. If you're looking to encode to an AC3 stream there is AC3jack. http://essej.net/ac3jack/ Ardour also supports multichannel tracks and busses. -Reuben On 4/6/06, Aaron Trumm <aaron@xxxxxxxxx> 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 > ---------------------------------- > > >
