Encore 3 & DTS Import

[Damo]

I'm having a difficult time of importing DTS files into Encore for 5.1 audio.

I'm trying several different methods, one of which I'm sure is completely wrong but I'm hoping someone will see where I'm going wrong.

I have the Adobe production suite CS3.

I edit videos with Premier, use Encore for DVD authoring and I now want to include 5.1 audio in my films.

I have a copy of Adobe Audition and Surcode for doing this.

I use Audition to create the 6 wav files I need, I don't have a problem doing this. I can play each file after they've been created without problem.

I then open Surcode and assign each file to the correct channel. I can preview the input fine.
I encode to WAV which creates a single WAV file.

If I play this file back all I hear is white noise. I can import this file into Encore fine, if I create a DVD with this file the white noise is the same on my surround decoder.

Instead I create a DTS file using Surcode. This is created ok and obviously I am unable to preview this file.
I try and import this file into Encore and I get two messages.

The first warns me that I am unable to preview this file, click ok and the second message informs me I don't have the correct decoder to use this file and the file is not imported.

I believe I'm doing everything right, but having not done this before I don't really know if I am. The audio files produced by Audition are sampled at 44000, if that makes a difference?

Help really appreciated.

Never mind, I've changed to Dolby Digital and it's working great.

I think this wasn't the answer of the question?

OK, i got it with E3.

First i transcoded DTS-HD MA to core which is understandable by E3; at least as 48/16: (not 44)

eac3to v2.65
command line: eac3to\eac3to E:\HD\audio.dtshd C:\Users\rica\Desktop\audio.dts -core -768 -16

Done.


And the result: no any issues.

Note: 44 Khz will not accepted by Encore; so you should have one Surcode DVD edition; not a Surcode CD...
The file must be 48/16; so i transcoded 24 to 16 btw....

(Encore never gives you preview option btw; you just get the the resulting file; that's it.

It's the sample rate that's the problem?

I'll have another go, thanks.
