digital output?

when burning a vcd or svcd, what is the best sound field you can hope for? is there any way to get 5.1 or 6.1 digital? not made many vcds and begining to question if its worth the time.

I'm not an expert on this at all, however I thought I read here that it is possible to put Dolby Digital on an SVCD. But I highly doubt you can encode DTS though, as it uses far more file space.

Best to wait for ChickenMan or one of the other resident experts here. Even if this is possible, I have no idea how to do it. ;)
 
Just a advice(take it if you want)???

As trhe guy said,dts takes avful lot spaces more then dd...Encode it in a dd,or dts)i got a dtv compatible and i got separate dd and dts hardware compenent(decoder)--no difference att all...And it takes like 20 times more spaces or some riduculus number more then dd.............
 
Sorry, but you cant put Dolby Digital AC3 or even DTS audio into a VCD or a SVCD. However, if you use DVD2SVCD to make either VCD or SVCD, it uses BeSweet for its audio conversion and is able to retain most of the 5.1 surround sound downmixed into the 2 stereo channels. Audio data needs to be 224 to take advantage of that though.

Both tutorials on how to do it are here http://www.cdrbase.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=120
 
To Chickenman!!!!

Ok;I got co2 luxman(preamp) and two luxman m02(connected as monoblocks twice)for a stereo sound in my house,psb stratus gold-front,c5 center,psb subsonic7 sub!!!!!!!!!!!!rca satellite receiver with digital output(5.1 dd and dts compatible)and vantas decoder.....What i want is this;very often there is a rock concerts there and i would like to record them(cd or dvd)..If i have to buy dvd burner i will!!!My decoder shows thqat is receiving dd 5.1--so i wanna record in 5.1)..Any good tut on that--no downmixing which i can play as surround(analog),i would like pure5.1(dd)--Any thought--links--or new tut:)Any thoughts??Also if i copy dvd to dvd--can it make it dd disc...I know that dts takes much more bandwith from then dd..For example when all movies on dtv comes on, dd is a main choice..Sorry if this is a basic stuff,dont have yet dvd burner!!!!!And by the way what would be exact difference in same movie with dts or dd(sizewise)??Btw,since you are a videoexpert,any big difference in tecnical quality betwwen two of those,couse as i said in my earlier threasd,i watched movies with dvd standalone player(dts)and satellite(5.1)--couldnt hear diggerence--both sound great--at least for me!!!Any diff with 6.1 or 7.1???

@zver, dvd audio can be LPCM (normal stereo or 5.1 wav), DD (AC3) or DTS. If your sound card can handle 5.1 (6) ch sound and you can capture it as 6, then just use AC3Machine or BeSweet to convert to 5.1ch AC3 and then burn to DVD with your encoded Video. Personly I have no idea what software can record 5.1 ch audio, but I would start a search on Google or check out http://www.mpegx.com/ and see if they have anything specific for the job.

dts or dd 5.1, it would be hard pressed for the average listener to ever hear any differenc between the 2. Just 2 opposing companies with different standards.

We satred with mono sound, was great. Then stereo, that was fantastic. Then came quad, was 2 complicated and cost the earth so died a natuaral death. Then dd with 2,3,4 or 5.1 ch came with DVD audio to simulate theartre sound, fantastic. Now 6.1, 7.1, where will it end, who knows. (who cares!) One thing for sure is though, we only have 2 ears, well most of do.
