The channelmask flag in WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE header only say what channels are present from:
Code:
FRONT_LEFT 0x1 FRONT_RIGHT 0x2 FRONT_CENTER 0x4 LOW_FREQUENCY 0x8 BACK_LEFT 0x10 BACK_RIGHT 0x20 FRONT_LEFT_OF_CENTER 0x40 FRONT_RIGHT_OF_CENTER 0x80 BACK_CENTER 0x100 SIDE_LEFT 0x200 SIDE_RIGHT 0x400 TOP_CENTER 0x800 TOP_FRONT_LEFT 0x1000 TOP_FRONT_CENTER 0x2000 TOP_FRONT_RIGHT 0x4000 TOP_BACK_LEFT 0x8000 TOP_BACK_CENTER 0x10000 TOP_BACK_RIGHT 0x20000 BTW, how can detect scenarist the channel mapping in a raw file? (only LFE, without high frequencies, can be recognized) And scenarist, need wav or lpcm files? |

Dwnloaded and tried out this tool, and I'm wondering if I I'm doing something wrong or if there is a glitch.
Dowloaded and extracted the zip. Went into cb configure, disabled the two Surcode and the Sonic foundary programs. Hit 'Download list' and it successfully downloaded / unzipped / installed everything else. Oh yeah, I also copied the ac3enc dll into the directory and did 'find' on it. Grabbed a six channel wav, and did conversions to aac, vorbis, and ac3. When I do the vorbis convert, the cb window makes it appear as though I requested a Sonic foundary conversion. The jobs log shows (for example) Code:
* Message received from wavewizard.exe. Msg ID: 0130. Msg description: Add job [Parameters] DataRate=0 SampleRate=0 CodeMode=0 UseLFE=Off DlgNorm=0 CompressionType=0 RFCmpInUse=Off CMix=0 SurMix=0 DolbySurround=0 Deemphasis=Off DCFilter=Off BandWidthFilter=Off LFEFilter=Off Phase90=Off Cut3dB=Off TimeStamp=Off Thanks! |

BTW, is not recommended use WaveWizard to encode to aac or ac3, there are better new encoders (NeroAacEnc, CT, Aften) than can be used with Foobar, BeLight or AviSynth methods (BeHappy, SoundOut, Wavi) |

This is a one-shot using a 10 second 'channel ID clip' in order to verify channel mapping of an output device, and I needed the channel mapping and wave format controls; the built-in conversions were a nice plus.
I've poked at this some more and it seems to be purely cosmetic - the job log, the command line, and the output files are all correct... |

AAC to AC3
Sorry I'm a bit late to this party, I got here as soon as I could.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin... ...there is a trend, these days, for people to convert (films in particular) to .mp4 files containing video (H264) with 5.1 AAC audio. All well and good you say, and it is, if all I wanted to do was play them on my PC with VLC or burn them to DVD. But what if I wanted (and I do) to watch them on my TV through my surround sound setup using my WD media player? I can watch the video but only listen to the soundtrack as 2 channel stereo. So started my spiral into madness; a seemingly endless round of: Internet. Download software. Internet for settings/how tos/tutorials. Trial. Back to the internet. All this lasting (and still continuing) the past 2 weeks; including almost 3 solid days of my annual leave. The circles getting smaller and smaller until I feared I would disappear up my own orifice. Then, success (I thought) the solution was “simple”: Use Yamb to split the streams. Use aacDECdrop to convert the AAC file to a WAV file. Use TranzGUI (I’m a simple soul) to split the WAV into 6. Rename the files - C=FR, FL=C, FR=FL, LFE=SL, SL=SR and, last, but not least SR=LFE to correct the AAC to AC3 channel order. Create a .mux file with the above list in. Use BeSweet (GUI – as I said, I’m simple) to run the .mux file to create my AC3 file. Use MKVmerge to replace the audio file in the .mp4 with the .ac3 and mux to an .mkv file my media player is happy with. But no, my first run was just beginners luck, TranzGUI couldn’t handle some other files (something about the header I’ve read) and BeSweet created distortion (crackles/pops – no snaps) in loud segments (again something about 3db here and 31db there) so it’s back to the net… …then I find my Nirvana – WaveWizard and WAV to AC3 Encoder! Turns out I’d already downloaded and unpacked them during my week-long frenzy, but never got back to them. But then my channel order nightmare started again. Do I run wavewizard as-is then rename the files 0=FL, 1=FR, 2=C, 3=LFE, 4=SL, 5=SR to get WAV order, then re-rename them C=FR, FL=C, FR=FL, LFE=SL, SL=SR, SR=LFE to go from WAV to AC3 or, if my maths teacher did his job, 0=C, 1=FL, 2=FR, 3=SL, 4=SR, 5=LFE to do it in one go, then follow as before from the .mux file? No, WAV to AC3 Encoder can do it for me with its wizard! For Tranz files - click L and navigate to the FR file, R to C, C to FL, LFE to SR, SL to LFE & SR to the SL file. For wavewizard – click L and navigate to the 1 file, R to 2, C to 0, LFE to 5, SL to 3 & SR to the 4 file. Then it’s off to MKVmerge with the .ac3 file as before. I think the above order is correct, but I’m prepared to be corrected, and if anyone knows of (I haven’t found it) or can produce, a comprehensive remapping file-to WAV-to file map (like the above AAC to WAV to AC3 version) I think there would be a large and appreciative audience for it. Here is your “starter for ten”: 5.1 file type WAV FL FR FC LFE SL SR AC3 FL FC FR SL SR LFE DTS FC FL FR SL SR LFE AAC FC FL FR SL SR LFE AIFF FL SL FC FR SR LFE FLAC FL FR FC LFE SL SR WMA FL FR FC LFE SL SR • FL : Front Left • FC : Front Centre (Center) • FR : Front Right • SL : Surround (Rear) Left • SR : Surround (Rear) Right • LFE : Low Frequency Effects (Sub) |

Please forget old and discontinued programs like BeSweet, AacDECdrop or TranzGUI.
Also forget the internal channel order in compressed formats. An AAC decoder, like FAAD2v2.7, output uncompressed WAV files with the correct mapping (FL FR FC LFE SL SR) An AC3 encoder like Aften (used by WAV to AC3 Encode) need a correct (FL FR FC LFE SL SR) uncompressed WAV file like input. You don't need know the internal AAC or AC3 channel order. To recode AAC to AC3 you can use several methods: 1) Command line. You need a decoder like FAAD2v2.7 and a encoder like Aften with this command: Faad -w input.aac | Aften -readtoeof 1 - output.ac3 2) Foobar2000. You need define Aften like external encoder and after load the aac and right clik -> Convert 3) AviSynth methods (SoundOut, Wavi, MeGUI, BeHappy). You need the Bass libraries to decode and Aften to encode

After all these years I still find WW to be the most efficient means of quickly converting multichannel sources to DTS. Using foobar then WW it takes just minutes. However I am moving on to DVDA format, using Surcode MLP.
HAS ANYONE figured out how to add Surcode MLP to WW's batch output options? I assume it's hidden within "settingsWW.ini" which is in hex or some compiled code. Let's breath new life into WW! Starmanj |

I use this application all the time. Even more-so since I discovered you can use it to 'stitch' DTS.wav files together...
Thank-you JohnMan
