how do I encode an avi with 5 channel audio

[keith]

I downloaded the movie "ali.avi" and it seems to have 5 channel stereo sound with an unknown compression.
I tried the usual audio encoders (be sweet, toolame) but they don't work.
Save wave-audio with virtual dib or nandub doesn't work either.
What to do?
Thanks folks:confused:

5 channel stereo sound!? what's that!? a new invention!? :eek:

The AVI has probably Dolby Digital sound, download & install the audiofilters (you find them on download page of doom9) and all will be fine.

And hey: stereo = 2 channel ;)

I am just telling what's on the file-information Mr bobotns. So if you want to be smart, be smart at home.
I already downloaded the filters but that doensn't work.
This isn't my first movie you know.

No one wants to be smart here Mr Keith, and NO NEED TO BE THAT IMPOLITE, because there is no 5 channel stereo sound, understand?

So if you don't come out with more informations, no one can help you!

There is 5.1 Dolby Digital sound, and there is stereo sound in form of:
MP3
or
DivX-Audio (coming with DivX 3.11)
or
Vorbis

And I don't bother if it's your first or 100th movie, someone saying "5 channel stereo sound" shows that he has serious audio knowledge problems!

So install the proper filters, you get your sound, it's as ez as that!

Please do not discuss or mention warez in the forums. This is in the forum rules as I'm sure you have read.

I shouldn't have to explain this further.

I really think this is a very interresting discussion we have hear.

Vorbis is open-source, open spec and free of patent.

So everything should work perfectly (maybe with a good amount of time) like different implementations in different languages, different interrests in the same codec (how many MP3 codec is there ?!). But there is just one implementation by a few guys with their own interrest.

I don't think that the dev team is failing here. I just think there is something missing in the whole process. And that a whole free stuff can't succeed in the end.

Most people use DivX + Vorbis to rip their DVDs and with the coming of DVD-R and DVD+R a lot of those people are going to burn these rips into DVD to play on their hardware player. I don't think that all the people who bought a 5.1 system will be happy with 100% of the rips done in 2.0...

So I think they really should prepare the future (and more people should get involved), or other codec will succeed where they failed.
