thanks i have download some useful guides (i.e. avi with ac3 to dvd with ac3)
but it doesn't explain any about different channel audio sources there is only one audio track with ac3
is there any guide for authoring true 5.1 dvd video? please i am newbei in this area

If your AVI file already has 5.1 audio then try DVD Flick or ConvertXtoDVD. These will create a valid DVD structure and keep the AC3 audio if it is compliant.

If the audio is 5.1 then there really isn't a lot you can do. It is possible to create a fake 5.1 from a stereo track, but the results are far from true 5.1, and often inferior to what a good Dolby Pro Logic II amplifier can do.

With Nero if you have Smart Encoding ticked at the last step it will tell you if it's gonna re-encode. Video and Audio Smart Encoding percentages will be listed. But your 'AC3 48000Hz 6ch 192Kbps' might trigger a re-encode as Nero uses 192Kbps for 2ch and 448Kbps for 5.1. You could also set Nero's audio manually to 5.1.

6 channels in 192kbps ? errwww. That has got to sound rough as houses. Are you sure it isn't AAC @ 192 kbps ?

[namesake]

yes its ac3 not aac
do i need re encode the audio or not to maintain its 5.1 feature? yes then how

Too late for that. It's already wrecked. You may as well use it as-is.

Have you also checked it on your speaker system

Nero 6 and higher are not a reliable source of information.

well not on my pc speaker system.(2.1) my home theater system is connected to my dvd player and its fixed
so that why i want to take it on dvd disk?
is there any software who give me complete information about video audio properties? (reliable)

[ricardouk]

You can check the properties with MediaInfo, for an avi to dvd program tha doesnt reencode ac3 i recommend avs2dvd

thanks! information is same as above just bitrate problem. its 192 kbps instead of 448 kbps
isnt there any way to reencode bitrate of audio?

waiting ur answer

There's nothing technically wrong with 192, it should work. Reencoding 192 to 448 will just give you a bigger file, with no improvement in quality. (Like enlarging a grainy image: it doesn't get smoother.) You'd need to start with the original audio if you want to do that, not your 192 version.

hi

as stated earlier conversion with convertxtodvd or dvdflick is easiest option to create dvds.

i did that till i bought dvd player that handles divx.

now they play with full 5.1 and if the avi is not compatible with your divx player i reencode with virtualdubmod to divx

so u can create dvds with 5.1 or simply play avis with 5.1 as divx (often xvids play on my player)

saves time if u dont need a dvd

thanks i'll go with same bitrate. i play file on pc on 2.1 and it gave me marvelous performance on audio it was very clear and loud

[namesake]

i just want to know is it possible to upscale the bitrate?
if yes then how?

It's a waste of time and can only degrade the audio.
