AC3 -> AIFF, and AOB -> AIFF for Jaguar 10.5.6?

[DeadSirius]

mAC3dec hasn't been updated in a while, and doesn't seem to be much help any more under 10.5.6. Are there more current solutions for converting ac3 files to AIFF? I've also encountered my first DVD audio disc, with 5.1 audio apparantly encoded as AOB files. I'd like to separate those to AIFF as well.

mpegstreamclip
loads your file, convert audio to aiff

Well, mpegstreamclip will give me a stereo pair, but it doesn't seem to be able to separate an ac3 file into its component audio files. Eg. a 5.1 mix with 6 channels only gives me 2 AIFF files. I need all 6.

Unless there's a function in mpegstreamclip that I'm missing...

QuickTime Pro with Perian can export an AC3 file (or an AC3 stream in an AVI) as a 5.1 AIFF or as discrete channels, which I think is like one AIFF file per channel.

Yes! This does just what I need, and it works with Jaguar. Thanks!

Now if I could just get the ac3 out of an AOB...
