Okay, I just posted this in the DVD newbies section and will probably get all kinds of hate-mail. I hope this is the right place to post this. Does ANYONE out there know how to take surround sound from a DVD and DVD-Audio and isolate each track for a mix down into mono/stereo files to be saved as .wav or Mp3? I know for a fact this CAN be done because I've gotten files like this from the internet. I have been trying to figure out how to do this for quite some time now, and I'm getting nowhere. If this problem was previously discussed on this site, I couldn't find it. Anyway, please help a girl out. I'd really appreciate it. Sincerely, Punany
As long as it is from a DVD-Video disc (check the logo on the box) you will be okay here. What you need is a copy of ImToo's "DVD-Audio Ripper". It's shareware, but very cheap, and will take the audio from any DVD-V disc to either WAV or MP3 for you. No hassle, no grief. If you have a genuine DVD-Audio disc, however, you cannot do this. Odds are it's DVD-V though, so you'll be okay. Can't remember the URL for the app, but a google search will find it no trouble.
Wilkes, I appreciate your help. But that's not what I'm after. I wish I knew how to phrase more technically what I'm trying to do. I don't need to just copy sound off a DVD. Imagine a 5.1 surround sound recording. I want each point separated and copied on their own. So for one song, I could have five different parts in mono. I know this has been done. But how the hell do they do it? Thanks again. Punany
Personally, I use my Nuendo with the DDE Encoder. Just import the 5.1 AC3, and instant 6 mono WAV files. But that is £2500 worth of software. It can be done with freeware, but very unreliably. Try Doom9 for a guide.
No. The Dolby Digital Encoder does not work with Cubase, and this plug installs the Dolby Digital Decoder as well. This is what is needed to do this, as even a standard Nuendo installation is not capable.
