I have some media thats 6.1 dolby but nero keeps making it 5.1 dolby... Is there anyway to keep 6.1 and burn??? Or is there any program out there that does burn 6.1 or 7.1 dolby digital???? Im using nero 6.. Any advice would be helpfull.. Thanks in advance, LJ1601
thread teleported to what i think is the relevant forum; i once read something about something called Nero Digital - http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/nero_digital.cfm but don't know if that's relevant
Firstly, this is the HIgh Resolution forum. And Dolby Digital is DVD-Video equivalent of MP3 - about as far away from HIgh Rez as you can possibly get. However. Dolby Digital-EX 6.1 is NOT part of the DVD-Video specification, and most DVD-Video authoring applications cannot handle it. Any disc authored with these flags set to ON will be out of spec, in just thesame way that the new Pink Floyd PULSE DVD is out of spec on the 640Kb/sec DD stream. Nero is certainly never going to handle this, as it is far from a spec compliant authoring tool. Where is the source file from? What is the bitrate?
a-ha, my knowledge of most things audio is also "equivalent of MP3 - about as far away from HIgh Rez as you can possibly get" (i'm a blasphemer, i've been using MP3 happily for many years) thread now teleported to correct forum
Thanks Creaky. I'm still trying to sort him out though - but Dolby Digital EX really isn't a part of the DVD-Video specs, and as a result gets complex. If he was using DTS-ES though, it would be much much easier as DVD-Lab Pro 2 supports this.
