##### 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.
