Hi,
is it possible to extract just the center channel audio from a 5.1/AC3 source w/o any of the other channels coming into the mix? This is necessary becausemost newer Asian DVDs contain a horrible 'remastered' surround mix that sounds as if all the dialog was recorded in a concert hal or a church or something, yet the center channel retains the original mono soundtrack from the movie, which is DEFINETELY preferable...

I guess I could figure this out myself, but atm I don't have the time to try out Besweet/HeA3che tec. to find out which prog has the right settings and what they are...so please help me out.
Greetings

BeSweet is indeed what you need to use. On the doom9 software page there are links to download BeSweet and and the GUI for it. On the output tab of the GUI you need to set it to "6 Waves" - it will be obvious which of the resulting 6 waves is the center, then you can just delete the other 5.
