Subject:Sonicfoundry I'm impressed Posted by: Tampa Date:9/11/2003 6:50:28 AM I've just completed my first DD5.1 DVD. All I can say is WAY COOL! SF thanks so much for bringing this technology to the desk top. I used Vegas 4 to capture and edit the video as well as to encode the AC3 file. My only suggestion is to develope some sort of algorythm that does the DD 5.1 panning automatically. I know Vegas will do that with keyframes and that is what I used in making my DVD, but that isn't really automatic. I was thinking of some sort of algorythm that senses increases in DB level and then panns that increase in DB to a given speaker. As it is now it takes a lot of time to pick out the specific audio you want to pan. But that is nitpicking. I love the way my DVD turned out! The DVD is of a recent family offshore fishing trip. The audio a trip like this presents is perfect for Vegas and AC3. Keep up the good work SF!

Never thought about it then but surround would be way cool for this subject. Since you are into fishing (and presumably the big salty thing fish live in) here's one of my projects (stereo only but pretty good sound design by Clatter/Din.com): http://66.33.55.228/store/item8.htm
