Can Divx movies have Dolby Pro logic info?

[Maxibonk]

/If they do how can you tell?
how would you encode it back into an SVCD keeping this info for your decoder to work with?

[mats.hogberg]

A) Yes, they can.
B) No way. SVCD is limited to 2 channel MP2 audio.

Ehm, Mats....

Dolby Prologic IS 2 channel!!! The surround information is decoded from the 2 channels...
Prologic is nothing more than a bandpass filter which filters a specific frequencyrange out of both channels and redirects these to the surround channels.
So converting audio to mpeg2 should always keep prologic information.

You're correct - in my head I somehow translated to DTS 5.1... But I still doubt if it's possible to do more than stereo audio for a SVCD.

Hmmm,

Maybe it works with an XSVCD, but that depends on Maxibonk's DVD-player... Try multiplexing mpeg2 video with DD 5.1 AC3 audio... As far as I know it should work... At least my player supports it!!!

SVCD video + AC3 audio does not work on mine... (Centrum Libra / VESEG Hollywood II clone)

Mats,

But you are right... SVCD normally does NOT support more than 2 channels... XSVCD is not a standard format. I'm just lucky that my player supports it... (H&B DVD-5415S)
