Using dvd2SVCD to convert to 44.1K wav

[rrolsbe]

Enhancement to version 1.0.6 build 1 (QUESTIONS)

From the Readme.txt file:
Due to the fact that Doom9 twisted my arm, and due to DSPguru (a math. genious and must be given full credit for this), I have killed, Azid, tooLame, WLA and SSRC. I am now only using BeSweet for the whole audioprocess. The great thing about this is that no intermediat files are created between the AC3 and MP2 conversion.


This is unfortunate as I have used DVD2SVCD to convert AC3 streams to a 44.1K wav files for burning as a standard music CDROMs. This allows me to listen to created CDDA music CD's from music DVD's I have purchased.

DVD2SVCD has worked great for this purpose up to now.

Question: Is there a clean way to install the new version and not remove the current version of DVD2SVCD. IE.. Have a choice of which version of DVD2SVCD to use. The new version for everything except converting AC3 audio streams to 44.1K audio wav files.

DVD2SVCD is a great piece of software.

Thanks Much
Ron

...I have used DVD2SVCD to convert AC3 streams to a 44.1K wav files for burning as a standard music CDROMs.How about just using Besweet to do this? It can do it from the vob's or from the ac3 file, take your pick.

here's the command-line :
BeSweet -core( -input input.ac3 -output.wav -2ch ) -ssrc( --rate 44100 ) .
you can also pick any switches you like for Azid (lfe gain, normalize, dynamic-compression, etc'...).
the transcode process would be much faster, and.. no intermediate file.

you could even do a direct DVD->44.1khz WAV with BeSweet.

read BeSweet's manuals. you'll see... ;)
