Besplit: Converting AC3/DTS to Multichannel WAV

[easy2Bcheesy]

Hi,

I'm currently capturing AC3 via a Terratec Aureon 5.1 into a WAV file, then stripping out the padding by using BeSplit:

besplit -core( -input in.wav -output out.ac3 -type ddwav -fix )

The thing is that .ac3 and .dts files are not accepted by Adobe Premiere Pro, so I need to convert the AC3/DTS into a multichannel WAV file.

How would I do that via the command line? Is there a way to cut out the initial stage and have one besplit command that will do the job for me?

BeSplit can't decode ac3/dts but eac3to yes, you can try:

eac3to dtswav.wav multichannel.wav
eac3to ac3wav.wav multichannel.wav

Some ac3wav don't work directly with eac3to and need before the BeSplit step:

besplit -core( -input in.wav -output out.ac3 -type ddwav -fix )
eac3to out.ac3 multichannel.wav
