Those of you who have a the full home theatre system really need to check out this format that makes a DTS (Digital Theatre Sound) audio only CD. I made one of these using a program called Surcode, took my same wav file (in mono) and encoded it to 6 channels. You cannot believe the results, it is just awesome, the hardware splitting in the decoder cannot even come close to surround encoded files. You dvd player or reciever needs to be dts enabled for this to work though and you can use it on any wav file.

Anyway, i'd like to know if anybody else has tried this cause my next step is to try and make a dts encoded vcd, photoalbum with music or mpeg audio album (aka WOCD 3.8) and want to know if the surround formats will stay encoded once the dts wav file is converted to mp2 formats for the vcd?

I doubt the VCD sound file would remain intact as DTS because VCD requires a re-encoding to stereo MPEG1 Layer 2 audio...

taking a mono recording and copying it into 6 (of the same) does not a 6 channel make. These are total seperate audio files containing different sounds. Must have all tracks. Together can be done. You need a sound board to split (or) a very intense software app. not little encoder. sorry. turn your tuner to phantom surrond and get same effect you have. Not true surrond and not new news.
