After using the Surround Encoder, how do you save the resulting sound file...

Hi There,

I was wondering after you mix your surround tracs in Surround Encoder, how do you save or export the resulting surround sound song file to burn a CD and listen on a home surround stereo system?  What is the process to acheive a burnable file?

Thank you in advance,

Greta

The only way to get a surround mix to play from a CD is to save the 5.1 channel files (@ 44.1 kHz) and then buy Minnetonka's Surcode DTS-CD encoder to make the CD-compatible files.  This is a (comparitive) snip at $99 in the US, but has been removed from their rest-of-the-world online shop.

To make a DVD-A, save the channels (@48 kHz) and buy Minnetoka's diskWelder Bronze to do the job. (Or use WaveLab, which has DVD-A writing built in )

DVD-V can also hold 48 kHz PCM files, but I don't know the easiest way to burn them easily as I've never had any interest in doing that.  Lots of programs (e.g. Nero) can burn DVD-V with a Dolby-encoded soundtrack, which is probably easier, but you need to encode it first (try Minnetonka if all else fails!).

Another DVD-A (cheaper but still very good) option is Cirlinca DVD-Audio Solo (www.cirlinca.com)

The only problem with DVD-A disc is the difficult to find players...
