Subject:AC-3 5.1 REALTIME ENCODE TO DIGITAL OUTPUT? Posted by: powmax Date:5/17/2003 9:28:57 AM hello all, my question is about vegas 4.0 realtime playback possibilities. for what i see is that vegas enables realtime mixing for analog output. but i need the stream as a realtime 5.1 digital output (optical/coax) through my DIGI96/PAD monitoring via a digital receiver. is this possible? or is the only way of getting AC-3 STREAMS via the render option? many thx for your support martin

Reply by: ohmboy2001 Date:6/6/2003 5:34:07 AM Correct me if I'm wrong, SonicEPM, but can't you also render the .ac3 file and then send it out with Vegas (I'm not familiar with the program, but I own Acid Pro 4.0 and the 5.1 plug-in pack) from the digital output of say a Creative Labs 5.1 card to a 5.1 surround receiver or one of the stand-alone 5.1 receivers Creative makes? Ultimately, though, powmax, it would be better if you got a true 5.1 sound card with a digital audio output and a 5.1 speaker system that you can monitor your surround mixes on before you render.
