WAV interleave utility?

Hi, I have been searching for a while on this, but have not found anything yet that may solve my problem. I am trying to reconstruct a 5.1 DD track from my LD captures, but have not found a tool that can perform the multichannel WAV interleaving of the data so that I can compress with BeSweet/AC3Machine. I found a Unix tool (ch_wave) that is part of the Edinburgh speech tools library, but the only windows port of this app that I could find, does not like the large files sizes (several Gig). I have confirmed that this tool CAN interleave 6 separate mono WAV files in a sequence that BeSweet/AC3Machine can read and compress into a 5.1 surround track, but that was with 2 minute audio clip. Am I barking up the wrong tree or is this capability found in some other (uncommon) tool? I have seen no mention of this capability in any of the forum discussions I have seen to date. Again, I do not already have a multichannel WAV, I only have 6 mono WAV's and need to interleave them to be compatible with BeSweet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ted

Use Sonic Foundry Soft Encode

Feeding BeSweet 6 wavs 

Can you feed BeSweet 6 mono .wavs for conversion into a 5.1 AC3? If so, exactly how do you do it? I've read somewhere in this forum that it could be done, I don't remember where . . . Any help would be greatly appriciated!!

Re: Feeding BeSweet 6 wavs 

Thanks! I tried it several times, and this is what happens: (this is the list.mux) L C:\Projects\5.1 WAV\5 mono WAVs\G2P1 Surround_FL.wav C C:\Projects\5.1 WAV\5 mono WAVs\G2P1 Surround_C.wav R C:\Projects\5.1 WAV\5 mono WAVs\G2P1 Surround_FR.wav SL C:\Projects\5.1 WAV\5 mono WAVs\G2P1 Surround_Ls.wav SR C:\Projects\5.1 WAV\5 mono WAVs\G2P1 Surround_Rs.wav LFE C:\Projects\5.1 WAV\5 mono WAVs\G2P1 Surround_LFE.wav (using this commandline) "C:\BeSweet\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "C:\BeSweet\list.mux" -output "C:\Projects\AC3\G2P1.AC3" -ac3enc( -b 384 ) Error 59: Failed to sync to payload's start position : "C:\BeSweet\list.mux"BeSw eet v1.4 by DSPguru. -------------------------- Using hip.dll v1.13 by Myers Carpenter <myers@users.sf.net> Using lame_enc.dll v1.28 (4/6/2002), Engine 3.92 <>.

the muxfile should only hold the path for the files. no other preficies are needed.

Soft Encode is now called 5.1 Surround pack 

C:\Projects\5.1 WAV\5 mono WAVs\G2P1 Surround_FL.wav C:\Projects\5.1 WAV\5 mono WAVs\G2P1 Surround_C.wav C:\Projects\5.1 WAV\5 mono WAVs\G2P1 Surround_FR.wav C:\Projects\5.1 WAV\5 mono WAVs\G2P1 Surround_Ls.wav C:\Projects\5.1 WAV\5 mono WAVs\G2P1 Surround_Rs.wav C:\Projects\5.1 WAV\5 mono WAVs\G2P1 Surround_LFE.wav I removed the "L,C,R,SL,SR,LFE" and tried feeding it. I still got error 59 "failed to sync to payload's start position".

are you using BeSweet v1.5b17 ?
