5.1 Sound for XBox

[MediaB]

Is it possible to have 5.1 sound for the Xbox?

It seems that the XBOX 360 only supports 5.1 with avi and wmv files, not with mp4/mkv/mov

Ok. Is it possible to transcode any format to avi/wmv so that 5.1 sound is possible? With only vob and iso I would already be very happy. There once was a Magma version of PMS v 1.20.404 that could do that. This was not further implemented in later PMS versions. Only this specific version could do it.

I've found the code for the magma release now. There is a problem with using it though; it only works on Windows Vista onwards, which means Linux, OS X and Windows XP won't work.
I'll have a look at it and see if it's possible to write it a different way though

Thanks. I'm running Win7 so that's fine for me. It would be good for the other platforms too.

If possible , SubJunk, keep Windows 2K8 in mind too =)

Will do

Also,

Cant you just add this line in the CONF to make it 5.1? "n:6" means 5.1 right?

Code: Select all

Supported=f:avi		v:divx|mp4	a:ac3|mp3	n:6	m:video/avi
Supported=f:mp4|qt	v:h264|mp4	a:aac		n:2	m:video/mp4
Supported=f:wmv	v:wmv|vc1	a:wma		n:6	m:video/x-ms-wmv

That should be possible if Xbox wasn't so weird Instead it needs the file to be transcoded into weird formats
