Merging multiple channels

[nickolasj80]

I have several flac's all seperate channels, totalling 5.1, they are as follows:

song_center.flac
song_frontright.flac
song_frontleft.flac
song_rearright.flac
song_rearleft.flac
song_sub.flac

How would I merge these into a 5.1 AC3 track?

Easiest way to do it

- decode each flac to wav, then feed WAVs into WAV to AC3 Encoder

thanks for the reply. I tried the program you suggested, but I dont see a place to tell it what wav is what channel, etc...how do i do this?

[Soopafresh]

Oh yes, sorry about that. I'm an Avisynth nut so I'm used to scripting this process.

Download Wavewizard below and create a multichannel audio WAV with your individual WAV files.



wavewizardv0.54b.zip




There are two Aften options set up for channel mapping, try the other if the first doesn't work for you.

Your files should be in this order L-R-C-LFE-sL-sR

ok, i've got my wavs in the correct position in wavewizard, however, when i go to hit "convert" I get error, the file is not recognized by wavewizrd...any ideas?

Hmmm.



Look at the above examples - are your files mono 48000hz ?

[nickolasj80]

yep, that did it. It seems i didnt have the wavs in PCM Mono format...converted to that format, and it merges them beautifully...thanks!
