5.1 dolby digital

rusen · Post by **rusen** » Wed May 25, 2005 12:32 pm

I have Sony DVD 403 camcorder that records 5+1 dolby digital DVD video. When I edit the video 5+1 is recorded as only 1 channel. Does UVS 9.0 support 5+1 ? Is there any video editing program that support 5+1.

quoted from an earlier post by THoff:

5.1 surround sound. That's not supported by UVS as far as I know, nor is it part of DV25.

see topic from 20th with "only 1 sound channel etc...

thank you for your answer. Do you know any program that supports 5+1 ?

in the same thread below (now on page 2) you will see the following comment from maddrummer3301:

I don't understand why "Sony" would make a camcorder with 5.1 audio
for people making home movies.
Doesn't make sense to me unless they are trying to get more people to
use their line of Sony products for video editing/dvd creation that does
handle 5.1 sound.

You mean there is no such program yet.

Thanks

no I read that as meaning there is only software from Sony that does it

Actually, there are several video editors that handle surround sound. Magix, Pinnacle, Sony, Adobe are a few at various price ranges.

I don't own one of those 5.1 Sony cams but it would make sense that
sony gives some options for recording different audio modes in the
setup menu. 2/0 or even lpcm would seem logical.

Yes there is 2/0 audio recording option but why I bought sony camcorder 5+1 if I will not use this option?

What sort of 5+1 sound do you expect to get with a small camcorder microphone?

not a professional video of course

I can imagine, since with standard DV cams we can overdub the stereo sound to add background "noises", those noises could be added to the surround tracks.
And also we could use an external mic to record, I do that always, I shoot with a mike in Audio In socket and headphones on Audio out, you would be surprised by the DV sound quality.
By home production standards of course. I know DVCPro does it better.

Hi,

It seems to me that the 5.1 sound option is more of a feature of the *recorder* function of the camera. The single microphone will simply put audio content on each channel during recording.

Quoting myself again -

The good news is that Dolby seems to have a new low-cost license called Dolby 5.1 Creator.

A press release says you can get a $9.00 add-on to Pinnacle Studio ($100) But, I can't find it on Pinnacle's site.

Another press release says Nero has it too.
