There is this pretty nice Bose Dolby Surround-System in my Living Room and actually it has to work only as an dumb stereo. I would like to change it.
The problem is: I don't have an DVD burner. So what I want to make is an SVCD from an DVD with a fully working Dolby Surround.
At work I can use DVD Studio Pro or Final Cut Pro, if that should be neccessary for it.
I managed it so far to built up an DVD with DVD Studio Pro and a Dolby Surround Sound. I burned this vob-file as DVD from Toast on a CD-R but the picture is dithering.
Any of you guys having a idea how to manage this?
Would be nice!

I am not at all familiar with Mac software, however, Dolby surround is fully supported in the SVCD standard. Most DVD's have a 2.0 track, which is already downmixed. So just use this audio track and make a compliant SVCD anyway you know how and you will have dolby surround.
Are you maybe thinking of Dolby Digital 5.1? Because dolby surround only requires a properly encoded stereo signal.

Hi Adam,
you're absolutely right: What I want to have is an Audio-Stream Dolby Surround 5.1. I used A.Pack to mixed the channels together. So I do have this file.
What I have done else is: I took the vob-file without the audio and used ffmpegX to built a file in a better size to burn it with toast.
My idea: I will mux the new mpg-videofile with the ac3-file built in A-Pack together as an DVD-File.
This one I will split into three pieces and remux them to put them into DVD Studio pro to built a DVD-File which i can burn under the DVD-Modus in Toast on a usuall CD-R (Due to the fact, that i don't have a DVD-Burner).
Do you think it will work?
I will know it soon ...

What you will create is called a mini-dvd or more technically, a cDVD. Few dvd players will play these but you never know unless you try. Good luck but I wouldn't hold my breath. As far as I know there are only about two brands of dvd player which reliably support mini-dvd.

The only thing what makes me trouble is: How can I split the File I made in DVDSP? 4.7 Gigs are too big (of course) and there are some Informations which are neccessary for the vob-file like the ifo-file.
Is it possible to rip the movie (the video file) in a low bitrate using ffmpgX and mux this stuff as DVD with the audio-file (ac3) using again ffmpg?
If this would be possible, can I split the file into parts which would fit on a CDR and would be recognised as miniDVD from my Player?
** Sorry, my english is bad
