View Full Version : BeSweet messes up the channels ??

I'm trying to do a conversion from a DTS 5.1 soundtrack to a AC3 soundtrack (5.1)..... Reason to this is that my player doesn't support DTS, and I would like to watch the dvd-backup my friend made with DTS audio only.

I've demuxed the vobs, extracted the DTS-files, and merged them together. Then I have used foobar2000 to convert the DTS track to a 6 channel WAV file.

And now I'm using the 6 channel wav as source for besweet and trying to make an 5.1 AC3 file out of it.....

Everything seemed to work ok, until i fired it up in my home theatre, and discovered that the channels were all wrong.... The voices was in the FR speaker, and the LFE-effects whas in one of the rear speakers.....

I'm using the AC3-machine frontend, and it's just the AC3 file thats messed up.... The source-wav has the channels ok.....

Can I fix this an easy way, or are there som other way of converting my 6-channel WAV to AC3 without screwing up the channels ??

Suggestions appreciated :-)


Thanks in advance!

Solved the problem myself.... Thanks to some earlier posts at this forum, I was able to find a way to solve my problem.

Used besweet to split the 6ch WAV generated from foobar2000 into 6 seperate mono wav-files, FR, FL, C etc....

Then i made a MUX-file, specifying the correct order of the 6 mono files in order to do a successful AC3-encoding, FL, C, FR, SL, SR and LFE (the wav is originally FL, FR, C, LFE, SL, SR) - No wonder it sounded weird! :-)

Now the AC3 sound ok, and i can finally watch the movie!
