Upsample 44.1 to 48?

[What]

Is it possible (or more importantly, worthwhile) to upsample audio (IE CD audio) from 44.1 to 48 without losing quality?

Or, can I author a DVD (it's a music video DVD I'm replacing audio w/uncensored CD audio) with 44.1 audio without compatibility issues (using the Philips DVP-642 or whatever it is).

Thanks for any help/advice!

For compatibility, I would convert to 48K for DVD. Some players may not like 44K. AFAIK, You should not lose any quality. If you author with TMPGEnc DVD Author, it can convert the audio to 48K in the authoring process.

Actually, some people prefer to use audio software to upsample to 48khz, before they run it through an authouring program..
You're less likely to run into synchronization issues this way..

pijetro:

What program would you recommend for the upsampling? I currently have Adobe Audition v1.0 b3211.2 (formerly Cool Edit) and Goldwave v5.04.

I say without quality loss because I remember about a year or so ago trying to upsample a WAV file I ripped from a CD to 48k & it sounded horrible ... I may have had a setting or two off, but I didn't try it again to find out.

Try www.cdwave.com or TMPGEnc with SSRC plugin.

Using SSRC with TMPGEnc sometimes produces a little clipping.

You can modify the "TMPGEnc.acf" with Notepad to get two-pass conversion from SSRC like this;

[SSRC:info]
Name="Shibatch sampling rate converter"
SupportMethod=resample
Resample.InterfaceType=CommandLine
Resample.SupportInput=all
Resample.SupportOutput=all
Resample.SupportChannels=all

[SSRC:resamplearam]
" --rate %s":SamplingFrequency
" --bits 16"
" --twopass"
" --dither 1"
" --pdf 1"
" %s":SrcFileName
" %s"estFileName

Since you've already got it, then definately do the upsampling through Cool Edit Pro..
I've never had any issues (except it seems to take a while )..

I believe the shortcut was "F11"..I may be wrong..It's been a while..

Goldwave upsamples without any problems or sync issues.

GoldWave upsample = godlike
SSRC = last time i used it my ears ached

FWIW, SSRC into TMPGEnc has always worked flawlessly for me ...

And of course don't forget: Older versions of soundforge (the ones you can buy second hand really cheap nowdays) are a very good choice!
