Encoding Blu-Ray with 7.1 Surround - Blu-ray Forum

jshels · 11-10-2008, 10:22 PM

Hi,
Does anybody have any software that would allow me to take HD content created in Final Cut Pro and a 7.1 Surround Mix (either as WAVs, or OMF) to burn onto Blu-Ray. I'm open to any suggestions for either Mac or PC.

I don't believe it's possible but I'd like to see what's out there.
Thanks

Is your soundtrack one wav file, or seven monowavs? Are you looking for a professional style disc, or just the main movie with uncompressed 7.1?

I have yet to export, but had planned to export 8 Wav files. I've seen the Dolby Media Encoder software but it's pretty pricey. I'd like it to be as professional as possible but am willing to settle.
Thanks

Go to the Doom9 site, ask around in the Audio Forum, if you can export to one wav, or even pcm file there are fantastic applications that con easily convert to BD compliant LPCM files. If you still prefer 8 monowavs I know that there is an app (not exactly sure what though) that can do 6 (5.1)... not sure about 7.1.

If you can do one WAV or PCM file the applications you need are eac3to and pcm2tsmu, both of which are open source (frequently updated) freeware, and both are command based. There is a pretty good GUI called eac3to_and_more_GUI.

Another application that is a must, if you like to do your own BDs is tsMuxeR. It takes your raw AVC or VC1 and whatever BD compatible audio stream and creates a Blu-ray structure within minutes ready to be burned. Also freeware, also can be aquired from the Doom9 site, BD/HD DVD authoring thread.

Seriously, if you're into producing, converting, or anything that has to do with video encoding bookmark the Doom9 forum. Ask around, the authors of the apps are very helpful and always answering questions and extremely involved.
