2 x AC3 in OGM

[tiki4]

Hi everybody,

the last days I again started playing around with muxing AC3 streams in Ogg container format. In the past there was the problem that you had to use Nandub to mux to AVI first and then you could mux the two streams into an Ogg container. Then OGMTools came up and I tried again. Still there was the problem that AC3 was always decoded so it was impossible to add a second stream.

However it seems that the latest OggDS 0.9.9.5 fixes this problem. This time I was able to mux an XviD AVI (The Mask Of Zorro) and two 5.1 channel AC3 streams into one Ogg using OGMuxer and an automation setup file. The file plays perfectly on my Windows XP SP1 with the Intervideo DirectShow filter. At the moment I'm trying to add a different track like Vorbis 2.0 to see what happens. Unfortunately OggMux 0.9.3 with the new DD-WAV feature didn't work for me yet (maybe I'm too stupid).

I'm looking forward for any feedback now.

Regards,

@tiki4,

Nice to know that works, I never try to mux 2 AC3 before,
since I only can understand English and my mother language ;)

Hm, well, that's the reason. I also only understand English and my native tongue (which is German), so I very often keep both languages. I try to mux two soundtracks (which works very well for Vorbis of course) to Ogg container forever and ever now.

However, it's just a proof of principle as 2 times 448 Kbps is absolute overkill. On the other hand one can transcode to lower bitrate with BeSweet. I try so at the moment.

Ciao,
