Hi, I've got a wav file and the only thing I know about it is that it's probably in 5.1 or DTS and sample rate is 48kHz. But not sure. I tried to transcode it with BeSweet several times into mp3, but without success. I'm not sure about settings etc. because I pretty new to this stuff. First I'd like to know: Is there a tool to analyse the wav file to be sure about how it's encoded. If it is a multichannel wav, what would be the settings in besweet to transcide it to mp3 or stereo wav. I've tried this one: "c:BeSweet.exe" -core( -input C:\input.wav" -output "C:\output.mp3" ) -ota( -fs 48000 ) -lame( -b 128 ) Thx Novalis

cut the first 100bytes of that file and paste in here.

well, here you go: RIFFT.%.WAVEfmt ........D...........data0.% then there are a couple of zeros and then binary code again. thx Novalis

could you please attach this part, so i can clearly read the binary parts.

here are the first 2756 bytes of the file thx Novalis <how does this att. stuff work. Where can I see/open it?>

Maybe I should tell a bt more about the history of the files. The wav's a generated by Nero during the attempt to burn the DTS CD from an cd-image. So I'm already not quite sure if that went ok. However, it seems that I get different result if I use Isobuster for extraction (see att.) thx Novalis

it seems like the first attachment (wavpart) is a ddwav :

Great, thank you! The following worked for me: BeSplit v0.9b4 by DSPguru. -------------------------- Logging start : 02/18/03 , 23:27:30. besplit -core( -logfile c:\besplit.log -input c:\tmp\ner71f37.wav -output test.ac3 -type ddwav -fix ) [00:00:00:000] +------- BeSplit ----- [00:00:00:000]

Well, not that easy. I've done two output files now. One is a 6-channel-wav that plays on winamp and is about 3 times the size it was before (I have no DD Hardware on my machine) and was generated like this: BeSweet v1.4 by DSPguru. -------------------------- Using azid.dll v1.8 (b825) by Midas (midas@egon.gyaloglo.hu). Using Shibatch.dll v0.2 by Naoki Shibata & DSPguru (shibatch.sourceforge.net). Logging start : 02/19/03 , 00:32:04. BeSweet.exe -core( -input test.ac3 -output C:\TMP\test.wav -6chwav -logfilea c:\BeSure.txt ) -azid( -g max -L -3db ) ) -ssrc( --rate 44100 ) [00:00:00:000] +------- BeSweet ----- [00:00:00:000]

test.ac3 was exrtacted correctly, to burn it into a dts-cd, you should use BeSure. BUT! you could burn the original wav. it's already a ddwav.
