SurCode for AC3

Post by o0O0o »

Your wonderful program can use the SurCode DTS encoder.
Is it possible to add support for SurCode AC3 for AC3 encoding?

Hi,
I don't have access to that program. If you could share it with me at xrecode@gmail.com (via e.g. https://wetransfer.com).

i can't share, it is commercial.
looks almost exactly the same as SurCode DVD-DTS.

Code: Select all

####  Command-Line Encoding
 Command-line options are now         available in SurCode for Dolby Digital Version 2. The command-line parameters         are as follows:
| Command Line Parameter                                       | Explanation                                                  |
| ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| /Lf<left-front               wav/aiff file>                  | The left front file               name (mono or stereo)      |
| /Rf<right-front               wav/aiff file>                 | The right front file               name (mono or stereo)     |
| /Ls<left-surround               wav/aiff file>               | The left surround               file name                    |
| /Rs<right-surround               wav/aiff file>              | The right surround               file name                   |
| /C<center wav/aiff               file>                       | The center file name                                         |
| /Fx<low-frequency               effects (lfe) wav/aiff file> | The LFE file name                                            |
| /t <timecode string>                                         | hh:mm:ss:ff                                                  |
| /o <output file               name>                          | .ac3 output file               name                          |
| /h                                                           | display help and               exits                         |
| /w                                                           | Displays a child               console window and writes output (informational and error messages)               to that window. Without this parameter, error messages are displayed               as Windows dialog boxes. |

#####  Example Command Lines

 Note: Ignore line breaks           in these examples.
 C:\>"C:\Program           Files\Minnetonka Audio Software SurCode for Dolby Digital\surcodeac3.exe"           /o C:\temp\test3.ac3 /lf "D:\48_16\mxtrax2\test           LR.wav"
 The above command line will           encode the stereo input file D:\48_16\mxtrax2\test LR .wav           (if the encoding mode is set to 2/0) to the output file C:\temp\test3.ac3.           Note the quotes around the executable name and the input file. If the           file name contains spaces, quotes are required to properly specify the           file. /rf could be used in place of /lf in this stereo example.
 C:\>"C:Program           Files\Minnetonka Audio Software\SurCode for Dolby Digital\surcodeac3.exe"           /o C:\temp\test3.ac3 /lf "D:\48_16\mxtrax2\test           L.wav" /rf "D:\48_16\mxtrax2\test R.wav"
 The above command line will           encode the mono input files to the output file C:\temp\test3.ac3.           The encoding mode should have been previously set to 2/0.
 C:\>"C:\Program           Files\Minnetonka Audio Software\SurCode for Dolby Digital\surcodeac3.exe"           /o C:\temp\test3.ac3 /lf"D:48_16\mxtrax2\test L.wav"           /rf "D:48_16\mxtrax2\test R.wav" /t 01:00:00:00
 The above command line will           encode the mono input files to the output file C:temp\test3.ac3           with the timecode starting at 1 hour.
 C:\>"C:\Program           Files\Minnetonka Audio Software\SurCode for Dolby Digital\surcodeac3.exe"           /o C:\temp\test3.ac3 /lf"D:48_16\mxtrax2\test L.wav"           /rf "D:48_16\mxtrax2\test R.wav" /rs "D:\48_16\mxtrax2\test           Rs.wav" /ls"D:\48_16\mxtrax2\test Ls.wav"           /c "D:\48_16\mxtrax2\test C.wav" /fx "D:\48_16\mxtrax2\test           LFE.wav" /w
 The above command line will           encode the 6 mono input files to the output file specified. The encoding           mode should be set to 3/2. Note that the /w flag is specified. All information           and error messages will go to a child console window.

OK, here's an update to try - https://xrecode.com/test/setup_xrecode3 ... _1.185.exe
XRECODE 3 [64-bit] - 1.185 [Beta 2026-07-05/2987]
As I don't have the tool, I was unable to test it properly :)
