Wrong channel order in DTS to AC3 transcoding?

Postby giacom8 » 09 Jul 2009 18:44

Hello, this is my first post on the VLC forums.
I've searched the boards with no success so I'm starting a new topic.

I transcoded a DTS file to AC3 with the "Advanced Open File..." option.

Streaming/saving Settings
Transcoding options:
Audio: a52, Bitrate 448 kbs, 6 channels
Encapsulation method: MPEG TS

I took the AC3 audio, muxed with existing video, played on my PS3 hooked to my home thater system.

The problem is that the channels are screwed, audio from the central speaker (in the original DTS) now comes out from the back left speaker.
I'm on an intel Mac Pro whit the latest Mac OS X release (10.5.7), but I don't think that this issue is platform specific.

Any suggestion?

Giacomo

I registered on trac - but I don't use irc (for account validation) so it seems I can't file a bug.
Account username is "giacom8" if you can validate it.

I've just got the same results. For information this is my command line:

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -I dummy --avi-index=2 $src --sout '#transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{profile=baseline,level=3.0,nocabac,nobframes,ref=1},deinterlace,vb=1560,scale=1,acodec=a52,ab=448000}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst=$destpath/$file}}' vlc://quit

Adding in -vvvv and I get:

Would be nice for a fix as the transcode seems to be the only way I can play HD with more than 2 channels of audio on the Dreambox DM800 directly (and I've been trying to get the damn thing right for a couple of weeks now ;-) ) and I'm sure many others will use this with their dreambox's.

Thanks,

Michelle

This still occurs. Please fix this!

Here's how the channels are re-arranged:

I'm not sure if VLC can even fix this entirely on its own. There are HDMI audio settings on the Mac that seem to require adjustment. I have successfully got VLC 1.1.12 to 2.0.5 multi-channel audio to work correctly using the instructions written up here:
