How to encode 5.1 Surround sound?

[leek]

I have been using Clone DVD Mobile for some time and have no problems. Or so i thought. I have recently purchased a PS3 and a 5.1 Surround Sound System. I have all my Films backed up on my Windows Home Server. So once i had my PS3 and suround sound hooked up i tried one of my films to see how the surround sound would fare, only to find that all my films are in stereo ; even though i had selected English Dolby AC-3/6 for the audio for a generic divx!! So i know have to redo all my films for 5.1 Surround Sound. I tried the devices.ini mod suggested in this thread and used Gspot to confirm that it was encoded with 5.1 Sound, which it was. The only thing is that i tried playing it on my PS3 and it just tells me its an unsupported format (PS3 has the latest updates to date) . So i tried the PS3 16:9 AVC/H264 option only to find gspot was showing that as Stereo as well. So can someone help me?? I would perfer to get avi surround sound working on my PS3 but at the minute any film on surround sound would be great!

Have just tried this mod. Waiting for it to finish.

Ok this has finished and is showing in Gspot as 5.1 Divx 4 codec, but again its showing as being an unsuported format on the PS3.
Anyone help me here?

It appears that the DivX files produced by CloneDVD mobile are not recognized by the PS3 with its present firmware.
Please use the PS3 profile of CloneDVD mobile.

Hi there Chris,
Almost all of my current Divx video files play and they were all created with CloneDVDMobile but all of them have 2 channel audio. Now i'm trying to create them all in 5.1 as i previously stated.
And as explained in my previous post i have already tried the PS3 Profile (Selected 6/3 in the audio options)and when i check on GSpot it shows the audio as being output at 48000Hz 128 kb/s 2 channels. I have just tried to create another mp4 video again (Double checking) it shows in Gspot as 2 channel audio. So i ask you how do I get 5.1 using the PS3 profile?

Anyone have a fix? Anyone have a mod of the PS3 profile that forces/keeps the original surround sound?

I tried every CDM recording option and none produced a playback file with 5.1 audio. Correction VOB pass through did but the file size is too big. There are lots of shareware products available to do what you want to do.

Bump! I can't get anything to output 5.1 either. Would like a Divx or xvid profile that works so I can stream to xbox 360 via tversity.

I use #1 DVD Ripper to create AVI files which I stream to my PS3 and it plays back in 5.1 Dolby Digital. I belive the same files would play on the 360. There a all kinds of free shareware out there but they are for the more tech savy users unlike me. I paid for the program I use and I can rip a movie with 1 click. There is a free trial available on line. But again there are free programs out there, if you search, you will find:-)

I watch DivX movies on my PS3 all the time Chris, it's my format of choice using 1.5.0.4.

None of the divX files I created using CDM play on the PS3 anymore. My assumption is that the updates caused this as well. Even the files created using the CDM PS3 formats didn't work. The only CDM formats that are working for me are VOB and VCD.
