UpmiX: tool to automate stereo to 5.1 conversion (v0.71)

CD-audio is 16 bit, so the only sane reason to convert to 32 bit is to help quality when doing some form of audio editing, such as 5.1 conversion. Therefore cd audio cannot be 'ripped' to 32-bit unless it was converted on the fly, which would be no different from normal ripping and converting using audacity/cool edit/any other wav editor.

oh ok i see lol, never knew that. so the upmixing to 32bit doesnt degridate quality? usually you want to keep the conversion as low as possible, but maybe this is a differnt thing. ill definitely start doing it that way though. thanks

As tebasuna51 (he's an expert :) ) sugests here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=134017) you can use behappy.

Can I do the audio separate from the video?

I'm not a expert in upmix, the scripts are from NorthPole (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=787656#post787656), and the real expert in this forum is ursamtl with:
Sticky: GUIDE LIST: Stereo-to-Surround Conversion Guides (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=83752) and his VI VST plugin (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=105684).

But yes, with BeHappy, the Bass libraries, Sox filter and Aften encoder you can convert directly a Track01.cda to a Track01.ac3 5.1

Crosspost.

I was thinking in CDA audio.

With movie audio you can try open the full movie with AviSynth-BeHappy DirectShow method, but not always work.
Always better demux the audio and, of course, you need remux the multichannel audio output with the video.

I'm not a expert in upmixMaybe not an expert in upmix, but you know a lot about audio. :p

Some info that could go to readme is available here (http://xvcd.intercom-services.de/ac3.htm#Upmixgui)

But UpMixGUI 0.12 Release Date 06-05-2004 simply does not work (or I can not get it to work correctly), as it deletes EVERY file it just processed in its temp folder. So in the end one ends up with nothing to be processed by ie SoftEncode

EDIT:
One needs to use ONLY sox12174 (current version 14xx has a very different syntax)
But even then it fails on last LFE.wav processing & it needs to be done by hand (if anybody needs the instructions PM me)

In the end it produces a very artificial sound (especially if there is a dialogue)
