    i do professional video restoration and editing so i thought i could sharpen the picture enough to overcome that. (i just had no experience with surround sound) ok, ill echo others sentiments...."DAMN YOU LUCAS"

    also i think mainconcept's h.264 encoder will allow you to input the video file and the audio file...and then export as mpeg-2 with the LPCM option checked!!!

    oh ok, forgot the optical will auto match...i havent ever imported through that port yet! as for the ac3 info, it was just for some basic knowledge for future reference is all. Nothing pertaining to SW just thinking i might create an ac3 5.1 mix of my first single when i get my debut album out

    im going to try to capture with 48 khz instead of 441 maybe that will help keep the surround better? also vegas has an export option for ac3, but im assuming thats just for audio right? that doesnt send out video...its just for audio, and you match the ac3 track and the video in another...

    i get great result recording 24 bit with creative sound blaster audigy 2 extigy. you can record it from a good turntable and before you save the wav, apply a declicker filter to take out any audible ticks or scratch noises (i usually only apply these to beginnings and end of tracks or low...

    Making Star Wars LD Backup. How Record Dolby? etc.

    ok chris that makes alot of sense. just look at vegas, the output options are as follows IF SELEECTING MAINCONCEPT MPEG 2 under template custom, then audio: audio mode- stereo mode, joint stereo, dual channel, mono (so i would assume leave stereo) Psychoacoustic model 1 or 2, so i...

    Making Star Wars LD Backup. How Record Dolby? etc.

    okay thanx alot, ill try to make sure the audio stays in .wav format at 16 44.1 the whole way through the capturing, editing etc. at which point i THINK ulead dvd workshop automatically may change the audio to the proper 48 instead of 44.1... hope this works!!!

    thanx john... ok i have learned from all of you i will definately leave it PCM ok so is PCM format when i save the audio file as a standard .wav? 44.1 16? or is there a specific .PCM file format. (I think i remember seeing ADPCM or something in wav properties in one of my audio programs)...

    thanx chris youve been VERY informative... i will treat it as normal stereo then, in fact thats great! i understand your suggestion to turn up the level BEFORE entering the pc, so that no post levelling is necessary. But what i was intending to do was take the raw level out from the...
