Hi All
I think so that you too might be wating for MP3 5.1 for to come
Well a New 5.1 Standard is about to again change the way we hear 5.1 Audio.
Mp3 Surround = 5.1 Audio + Compression.
So now the DVD Rips that we do would now have a combination of
- Xvid/3ivx/Divx as Video Stream.
- MP3 Surround as Audio Stream.(instead of AC3)
I have tried AAC 5.1 but it does not completely match the Audio Quality of
AC3 5.1. I am hoping that Mp3 Surround will help us provide that quality
matched to that of AC3 as it did for the old Wav 2 Channel format.
Well i dont think so that Mp3 Surround Encoding Tool have yet arrived.
But if someone would find if they are available somewhere it would be great fun for comaparing.
The surround formats
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- AC3 5.1
- AAC 5.1
- OGG 5.1
- Mp3 Surround (5.1)
Well Those who are intrested for further knowledge can read these articles.
