Hello. I've spent a week or so trying to figure this out. What I want to do is take a regular 2 channel stereo song and reencode it into a 5.1 format, which a standalone DVD player will play. Am I just dreaming, or is this possible. I've looked at guides by Eye of Horus and SurroundBoy, and I've tried following them to the letter.
I did manage to encode a 5.1 wav using BeSweet, but when I played it back in WMP9 it was just static. Eye of Horus' guide using Plogue Bidule gives me an 6 channel WAV, which I can then encode to AC3, but I need to know what then to do with the AC3 file. I don't want to merge it with a video clip, I just want to listen to it in my surround system. I really wanted to figure this out without posting, but maybe this will be useful to others who want to do this...Any help is appreciated.
