View Full Version : Simultaneous Dual-Audio Playback Container?

Maybe with AVISynth if the container doesn't exist, but is there a way I can take a 5.0 DTS file and play it simultaneously with a rip of the LFE channel of another DTS file? There doesn't seem to be a way to merge the two without re-encoding, or a way to switch around the channels, or even to keep the integrity of the DTS in tact when ripping a channel. It seems to have to be ripped to uncompressed mono WAV tracks rather.

Unless there is a way to make it into a single DTS file to send it through SPDIF, how can I at least play the two play simultaneously with a PCM signal?

-Thanks

You will have to merge and transcode them. It is the only way.

Is that for certain? It seems silly that there isn't anything that can simply play them simultaneously. I think I heard at some point that with AVISynth, you can even play even each channel individually or together individually at the same time. This seems like it's within its capabilities...

You can arbitrarily mix channels with avisynth and provided you don't need to repeatedly do it is an easyish solution. But avisynth is not intended to be a player. You would have to write the script then open it with a player (mpc for example) to hear what you've created.

Well yeah, I know. I'll just open the AVS file each time I want to play the song and just store the actual files somewhere else. I only intend on playing it from my computer anyway, so yeah.

Seeing that really makes me wonder why there isn't a way to actually merge channels from different DTS files into one. Just seems like it would be so simple if they're of the same format...
