Hi again, I finally got a working copy of spdifconvert.py (downloaded without problem at my office, but impossible at home). Ran it on Fight Test and got a 47Meg WAV instead of the 170Meg WAV when I use Foobar2000 to do the conversion. I then further converted that 47Meg WAV to a 30Meg FLAC, just as in your example. Fantastic. Now I just have to get this FLAC home and try it on my Squeezebox.
Interesting for a 5.1 novice like me... the huge WAV and FLAC that FoorBar2000 creates play as perfectly clear audio (only 2 channels heard) in FB2k, and are identified as 6-channel content. The WAV/FLAC created by the spdifconvert tool play as complete white noise, and identify as 2-channel content only. So your spdifconvert tool is decoding the 6 channels in the ac3, and re-encoding these into 2 completely garbled WAV channels? Is that correct? Can you tell us if this re-encoding is lossy or not? Am I getting the full meaty goodness from my original AC3s? thanks HEAPS, once again, LeeBB -- LeeBorkman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LeeBorkman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2889 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19260 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
