One solution is to use ac3jack ( http://essej.net/ac3jack ) which encodes AC3 from multichannel jack inputs. It uses the ffmpeg library to do the encoding right now which *can* do multichannel. The quality is average, probably not comparable to what you get out of commercial encoders and what you hear on hollywood DVDs. jlc On 12/21/06, Pelle Nilsson <pellenilsson@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi! Is it possible in any way to create surround sound in AC3 or DTS format for use with DVD-Video in linux? A lot of googling suggests that it's impossible, is that really so? Perhaps there is an encoder that runs with wine? I read on a page that ffmpeg can encode AC3, but only in stereo. /Pelle
