Besweet question?

[schrady]

I ripped a 5.1 ac3 track from a dvd. Then encoded it with besweet/gui to wave

The wave is perfectly playable, but the center channel has disappeared. I get nada out of the center speaker.

Anyone know why that would happen? I'm sure I messed up somewhere

I have a 5.1 channel ac3 file, I'm trying to make into a 5.1 wave file with most of the vocals heading to the center channel. In previous attempts, the center channel seems to have been "blended" in and no audio comes out of it.
Now this attempt didnt play at all. Using the besweet new gui with latest .dll file and latest version of azid and besweet.

Here is the log: Please give me some guidance on how to use the new gui.

If you want a 5.1 wav PCM you must select WAV instead DD-WAV:

"-output g:\Matchbox 20 storytellers\onemoretry.wav -ddwav"

must be:

"-output g:\Matchbox 20 storytellers\onemoretry.wav -6chwav"
