Any progress you manage to make on this for SB1 users would be most appreciated.
I did a test last week of some software for extracting surround sound for playback on the Squeezebox, but somehow my posting dissappeared. For the record I'll repeat what I found out. I used DVD Audio Extractor (shareware / 30-day trial) which provides a nice interface for selecting audio stream and directly converting or de-muxing (?) to a variety of formats. It pulled the stereo soundtrack of my concert DVD just fine (at 48Khz as I later found out), and would convert both the Dolby and DTS soundtracks to multi-channel WAV/OGG/FLAC files too. They all played back in foobar2000 fine, but I don't know if the extra channels played proper as I only have a 2 speaker setup on the PC. The multi-channel ogg and wav files refused to play at all on the squeezebox (ripped from either DTS or DOLBY), but the FLAC files did playback (when converted from 48Khz to 44Khz) but at a really slow speed (don't know if it was fifth/sixth speed). Obviously the software's no good for DTS-CDs which is what I'm really looking for, but I think that just requires a fix to the squeezebox or tweaking of the conventionally ripped track? It is very easy to use to get your multi-channel files from Concert DVDs though, and anyone with a squeezebox 2/3 could maybe try it? -- sdevans ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sdevans's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19260 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
