6 Wave files to 5.1 audio script

[Crono141]

Hey all,

I've been fighting with WME9 and various other software trying to get a DVD ripped to WMV with 5.1 preserved. For some reason, WME9 wouldn't take the AVI I created with AC3, nor will it take a separate AC3 file for input. So, I have an AVI of just video (no audio) and I have a wav file for each channel of the audio. I know this can work because I've seen it done before, but in a process I have no control over.

My only guess is that he uses a script to compile the appropriate waves to the appropriate channels for encoding into a WMV. I'd like to use the WME9 interface to tweak my settings (such as bitrate, etc). Does anybody know how to make an avs script that will load into WME9 that will take a single wave file for each channel, and a separate video file for video?

So your goal is to feed (by way of AviSynth)

*Uncompressed 720x480 YV12 video (assuming NTSC :))
*Uncompressed 5.1ch 16bit 48 KHz audio

into WME?

If that's the case, then load the AC3 directly into the script with NicAC3Source(...)

The Blue_MiSfit method is good to don't waste time and disc space, but, if you need make some wav edit, after you can use:
fl = WavSource("G:\channelFL.wav")
fr = WavSource("G:\channelFR.wav")
fc = WavSource("G:\channelC.wav")
lf = WavSource("G:\channelLFE.wav")
sl = WavSource("G:\channelSL.wav")
sr = WavSource("G:\channelSR.wav")
audio51 = MergeChannels(fl, fr, fc, lf, sl, sr)

Hmm good to know as well! That could come in handy for me as well..
