Title: WAV to AC3 Encoder (convert WAV files into AC-3 audio files)
Post by: wisodev on 2008-04-25 11:20:42
I would like to present my program, it is developed for some time and I think many HA users will find it useful.

WAV to AC3 Encoder an audio encoder which generates compressed audio streams based on ATSC A/52 specification.

WAV to AC3 Encoder is an audio encoder which generates compressed audio streams based on ATSC A/52 specification specification. This type of audio is also known as AC-3 or Dolby® Digital and is one of the audio codecs used in DVD-Video content. The program is a simple GUI for Aften A/52 audio encoder created by Justin Ruggles. WAV to AC3 Encoder project was started on 27th January 2007 by Wiesław Šoltés.

Have you been working on the functional Aften code? I'm going to see if I can compile it for Linux.

It seems the code is pretty much abandoned at this point. I was kinda wondering if someone would care to adopt it, now that the patents have expired. I'm not versed in audio processing code well enough to take care of it, but I think it would be at least worth it, keeping AC-3 code alive.

Also, cheers for working on christmas ¦D

No work have been done on Aften. The Aften code was integrated into ffmpeg.

Hmm, OK, I thought it was the other way round. I.e, Aften was based on FFmpeg code, and it was an effort to make a stand-alone encoder.

I think Aften started that way but was again merged back into ffmpeg code base.

Hello there:

I've been using this program for sometime now & it functions pretty well flawless.

There is one point that I need some assistance with... the setting up of the surround channels encoding so that the program does not (by default) reduce the vol of the surrounds by -3db. The drop down menu that appears when cursured on for this function show three possible settings...
0= -3db (default)
1= -6db
2=  0db

the issue I am having is there is no *2* to select from, when one right clicks on the highlighted surround mix level bar the only selections that do appear are...
-3db
-6db
 0

is 0 taken as being setting *2*?

also the same question for the center channel.......the center has no other setting than -3, -4.5, -6db, there is no setting for 0.

How does one override the present settings to make custom changes?



I've tried going into the registry to look for a possible reg entry to alter but there is nothing in there at all in this matter,

thx for any help.
