Dolby 5.1 & 6 seperate channels?

[Snakesound]

I wonder if there is a program that will open an AC3 file and display the six seperate tracks in the same way that Soft Encode does, but will allow me to save the 6 individual tracks as six seperate files in Wav format.
Soft Encode will do the trick for me when I record my own wav files and import them into the program and encode them as AC3.

If I understand correctly, you just want to split an ac3 to six waves... right?

Besweet (use the gui) will do the trick just fine. Just select "six waves" and it will output them, even labeled with which channel is which. Then to re-encode, soft encode works.

Also - in soft encode you can open an ac3 file and delete all the tracks but one, and save it out as a wave file... but it's a waste of time when you can do them all at once with besweet.

Thanks Mikecito

Thats exactly what I want to do,I'll get the program and give it a go.

Is there any way to use ac3encode in Besweet to encode 6 seperate wav files into one ac3 wav?

See this thread... it's the most I've seen on it.

I use Softencode, I've heard it does a better job, but is slower than my Grandma. I don't mind, however, because I just start it at work and let it crank while I use another computer.
