dolby digital flags

[loster]

is there any software that can read the flags set in an ac-3 stream?

What, specifically, are you trying to achieve ?

[yoda313]

if you mean the actual picture representation of the sound wav you would need to rip the ac3 to the computer. Then you could rip it to six seperate wav files using besweet. From there you can use any audio editor to read the individual channels and look at the actual wav file.

Now as for exactly which "flag set" you are referring to you will need to be more specific.

Perhaps you mean the "chapters"???

sorry i meant the DRC flag and copyright flags. I wanted to see how my dvd recorder sets the flags in the audio it makes.

[loster]

anyone?

Sonic Foundry's Soft Encode would show you all the flags in an AC3 stream.
But it's quite an old and obscure program (and no longer commercially available).
You might check if the latest version of Sound Forge (now owned by Sony) can handle AC3. It might give that info then.

sound forge only exports dolby digital it cant import it at least in raw stream form
