GUIDE LIST: Stereo-to-Surround Conversion Guides
The following is a list of the various guides and methods posted in this forum for converting stereo to surround sound. It is meant to provide readers with a listing of all the methods posted as well as useful, related information.
Surround discussion and additions For general discussions related to stereo-to-surround conversion, the methods, or for questions, you can post in the thread specific to a particular method or in the following general forum: Additions and comments on "GUIDE LIST: Stereo-to-surround Conversion.." An Overview of Plogue Bidule-based Methods Many of the methods documented in this forum use a software package called Plogue Bidule, available from http://www.plogue.com. This program is currently free to use because it is still in a beta testing phase. The better you learn to use Bidule, the more successful your stereo-to-surround conversion will be. For a detailed, step-by-step guide for conversion using Bidule-based methods, see Step-by-Step Instructions for Plogue Bidule-based Stereo-to-Surround methods A basic overview of the conversion method is as follows:
Most of the software and PDF versions of most guides with step-by-step instructions are available at Daphy and @ndy's server: http://www.needfulthings.webhop.org/. If you have problems with this server, try ftp://daphy.mine.nu/. You can also check for announcements concerning the server status in the announcement thread, Needfulthings - dedicated 2.0to5.x host.

Send any additions, changes or comments concerning this list in a private message or email to UrsaMtl. For a discussion of this guide list, you can also post in the following thread: Additions and comments on "GUIDE LIST: Stereo-to-surround Conversion.." Updates Because the system does not display an unread message icon when an existing message is updated, I'll post a message at the end of the thread whenever there are updates to the list. When it's time to update again, I'll delete the existing update message, and post a new one. I'll also place a "NEW" or "UPDATED" beside an affected items in a different color. This way, you'll always be aware when there are changes to the list. Last edited by Guest; 10th September 2009 at 13:38. Reason: remove spam link |

My apologies for the thread necro, but does anyone know if there is a method to use Harman Kardon's Logic 7 for upsampling to x.1?

@HaydenField000... it's possible to convert stereo to surround 5.1 via avisynth, using these filters (try them and choose one according to the results on your source):
UpAction() #action movies only UpDialog() #dialogues mainly UpGerzen() UpFarina() UpMultisonic() UpSoundOnSound() Once you have a 5.1 converted track, you'll just have to encode it using your favourite encoder, for instance, NeroAAC. Sample script: Code:
video=colorbars(width = 704, height = 396, pixel_type = "yv12") audio=DirectShowSource("audio2.0.something") #using WAVSource for .wav audio files is reccomend #you can use FFAudioSource as well audioDub(video, audio) UpDialog() #it converts to 5.1 Unfortunately, there is no magic and I really wanted to upmix audio tracks back in the days, but in most cases it's not worth it and it's better to just make a Loudness correction (Normalization, EQ etc).
