MPEG AUDIO 5.1 support in DVD2SVCD

[Tokafondo]

Greetings from Canary Islands

I'd like to know if the Mpeg Audio introduced in DVD2SVCD 1.0.9 build 3 is tested to work.

Thank you.

Uh... I don't think it would have been implemented if it didn't work :confused:

Hello Tokafondo,

if you want to test this feature make sure to do some reading in the forums by using "MPEG 5.1" for your search - it will give you many results and will show you that it is not widely supported by standalone DVD players - only a very few play them correctly.

Hope thsi helps,
Gerti

P.S. Please use the search function of the forum in the future or else ... ;)

Feature tested using a Philips DVD751 player and Dolby Digital Receiver and it's working great for me! Receiver tells me a MPEG 3/2.1 signal is coming from the DVD player.

Only problem is my DVD player sometimes locks up but I don't think it has anything to do with the MPEG multichannel sound (I suspect some subtitle / multiplexing / bitrate error).

Hi MaDMaRTiGaN,

you're right, those Philips DVD players tend to stutter or hang, when the SVCD Bitrates are just a little too high (CCE sometimes produces peeks that are up to 300 kbit over the "Max.") - so you should try to lower your "Max." and "Max. avg" Bitrates a little and see if this cures the problem.

Greetz,
Gerti
