View Full Version : I need some help with a Dolby Digital Audio CD

I got here a Dolby Digital Audio CD, the guy who created it, probably ripped a dvd audio track (AC3) and made the cd using BeSure program (great app, thanks a lot!).

It plays fine when output is done through a toslink/digital cable to a receiver, but I cannot play it through a software dvd player as I do with DTS Audio CDs.

If the file was an .AC3, windvd would play it perfectly, but unlike DTS Audio Cds, Windvd recognizes the multichannel DD 5.1 wave as a PCM.

What I need is: a way to rip the DD5.1 audio cd, transform the wave back into ac3 (tried with EAC + BeSweet, same bad results, maybe I'm doing something wrong), or a media player where I can "force" the wave to be recognized as AC3.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

BeSplit is capable of transcoding ddwave/dtswave into ac3/dts.
see q24 in the audio faq.

I read the FAQ now again... Just noticed the BeSplit thing :)

Thanks a lot... I think that I was sleeping yesterday here :)
