invert it (or shift the phase 180 degrees) and send it to the right.

How do you go about inverting, or shifting the phase of sound?

BTW, the two most common ways of doing a DVD rip WILL already do the AC3 --> Dolby Surround downmixing (FlaskMPEG and DVD2AVI).

Hi

I am made some VCD's and would like to know if I can create
a VCD with a Dolby Digital track (ie only convert a DVD
picture to MPEG1 but keep the DVD DD soundtrack)

Any help welcome.

Well..It IS actaully possible to make a VCD with DD 5.1...Muxers like BBmpeg can multiplex dd5.1 aith mpeg-1..Of course the resulting VCD WONT conform to VCD specs so probally wont play..but I beleive some flexible DVD standalnes may play them ..Im not sure about software players

well if it doesnt conform to the vcd standards then its not a vcd, but anyway.

I seriously doubt that there is even a single dvd player which could play an ac3 muxed with an mpeg stream, and thats what a 5.1 "vcd" would have to consist of. Dvd players simply dont work like that. You cant mix and match functions because you are limited to the specific software for the format that the dvd player "thinks" you inserted. So vcd playing software will see an ac3 and not even know what it is, much less how to decode it...and thats assuming the player would even recognize it as a vcd.

As far as a software player playing it? I dont know I guess it could work but if you were doing this you might as well just make a divx.
