SVCD/VCD With DTS & Dolby Digital (5.1 Chanels)

[Green Dragon]

can i rip DVD to SVCD/vcd but keeping the audio
intact in other words waching SVCD/VCD on a standart DVD player (not pc version) and still hearing the original sound track with DTS or Dolby Digital with all the 5.1 chanels

if i can how do i encode this ?

Yes u can. i use DVD2AVI then in the audio section in mp3 settings change it from stereo to duel channel .. then i use tmpgenc go into the settings and choose the audio tab then change that from stereo to duel channel and it gives u full surround sound. Hope this helps a little .. :)

First there is a progrom to encode the audio but it is a linux program, wait for windows version, then your dvd player should support multi chanel mpeg files. Not every dvd player can play multichanel mpeg files look for front panel they put multichanel mpeg logo.

I have heard that DTS and Dolby 5.1 is *not* possible with a (S)VCD, however, DOLBY Pro-Logic surround sound IS. I use that myself. Here are my DVD2AVI settings under audio:

Dolby Digital: Decode
Dolby Digital: Dynamic Range Control: Normal
Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Downmix
48 -> 44.1KHz - High

This should work for you, if volume is too low adjust Normilization to 100%.

If you wanna test a MPEG made with these settings, click on the link in my signature and grab the INTOR mpeg from my Yahoo! Briefcase. its a THX intro and sounds great on my system.

Good luck!

Looks like Yahoo deleted your files

This has been covered several times, see below link for what ya need to know:

In order to get 5.1 signals in a svcd you must have a Philips dvd player, a reciever that specifically supports multichannel mpeg audio, and you must use linux to create the audio stream. You also have to be willing to lower your video bitrate since your audio stream filesize will be much larger.

If this doesnt apply to you then the best you can get is prologic or Dolby surround. To get this simply do a surround sound downmix. Most conventional audio decoding/encoding methods for creating svcds allow for this.

I been testing this and my conclusion are that it makes no difference at all if you use Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Downmix
or not. i did 2 files one with and one without and i cold'nt tell the difference? but the difference came when i played the original dvd!!!
but the sound is ok comparing what a dvd coasts....!

What your saying is true only if you have a prologic reciever or no surround sound reciever at all. Prologic only requires a stereo signal to create the surround sound effect so downmixing is not necessary, and without a stereo receiver all you get is plain stereo.

If you have a Dolby surround reciever that does not also have prologic then you MUST do a surround sound downmix otherwise all you will get is plain stereo.

Doing the downmix ensures that your (s)vcd will be correctly played on a dolby surround reciever and it also guarantees that you are encoding the right channels for prologic. In short, you should always do a surround sound downmix.

After i have downmix a Dolby Digital DVD(Ghost in The Shell), i make a test with the sorround effects. In the scene where a car pass trought the front side of the screen, the sound of your engine move from back to front in my home-theater . The sound of VCD looks great !!!

I converted a dvd rip using DVD2AVI and used the settings you described for audio:

Dolby Digital: Decode
Dolby Digital: Dynamic Range Control: Normal
Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround Downmix
48 -> 44.1KHz - High

I tested the audio file with COOLEDIT and file seems to be okay(contains movie voices). But when I encoded the mpeg with TMPGEnc, the mpeg contains no audio.
I use toollame with TMPGEnc to encode the audio. The input audio is of 384k bitrate and 44.1KHz and audio settings in TMPGenc was also same.

What I am missing here. Also DVD2AVI took 3 hrs to generate the audio and video file for a 3 hrs movie where as normally it used to take 15-20 minutes.

Is IT POSSIBLE WITH DVDx to do that?

thanks
