AAC 5.1 channel order in file encoded with BeLight (NeroAACEnc)

[Sysmic Wave]

Hi folks,

My problem is like many others I have read about, the channels in my encoded AAC file are in the wrong order.

I've also been reading that people have been encoding with the channels in a different order to fix this, but I can't for the life of me find out how to actually do this.

Do I modify the BeSweet command line, if so what part and with what parameter.

Apologies if this has been answered before.

Thanks

You only need use the last BeLight (http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=BeLight/&file=BeLight-0.22_RC1.exe), the last bsn.dll (http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=BeLight/&file=bsn_20070513.zip) and NeroAacEnc.exe at same folder.

Apologies if this has been answered before. :rolleyes:

As far as I was aware I was using the latest versions:

BeLight 0.22 RC1
bsn.dll v0.24
neroAacEnc.exe 1.3.3.0

I thought I could set which order the channels were output?

Is there a program to show me which order my outputted channels are in.

The only way i've been able to tell is by listening to the audio.

Thanks

The user don't need know the internal channel order in each format.

A encoder must accept like input the standard channel order for uncompressed audio (WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE): FL,FR,FC,LF,BL,BR,...

A decoder must output uncompressed audio with the same channel order.

You can use safely BeLight, BeHappy/MeGUI, Foobar2000, eac3to, ... to transcode between multichannel formats.
If you make yourself the uncompressed wav files you need always preserve the standard channel order mentioned.
