Does the downloaded movie comes with 5.1 audio (either WMA or AAC)?

If not then you can't.

most titles it say strereo (cant see any 5.1 available on vlc interface) -so thats mean the sound in stereo even i got reciever - i think it will decode to 5.1 DD.
if i remember correctly i can hear sound coming from rear speaker.

?

but i got some titles with 5.1 sound - yes it clearly available on vlc - thru my speaker.

if i'm not mistake, nowadays dvdrip use AC3 codec, and YES you will experience 5.1 audio...

if you are asking whether the stereo sound will output to your 5.1 then yes. But you won't get true 5.1 surround sound.

If you want true 5.1 sound then the source need to have 5.1 in itself.

Use hardware acceleration, then u will get fake 5.1, its basically stereo output but all of the channels will have it

If true 5.1, the source needs to be 5.1

all depends on ur source divx file

if it supports SPDIF 5.1 or A52 or 5.1 surround, ok... then u will get real 5.1

if not u will just get fake 5.1 sounds.

so most of the titles(normal 2-hour movie) with <1g files are fake 5.1 ?
hope some dud will compress to below 1gig still produce 5.1DD.

i want fast, best, cheapest, easiest.

If a DivX file with DD5.1 channels and its only 700MB is not recommended
You will get crappy video quality instead

For 700MB encodes, best to use stereo or HE-AAC 5.1

Normally when I encode movies with DD5.1, I'll go for 1.4GB instead

so, in other word, 1.4Gb files give u DD5.1 sound ?

Nope, DD 5.1 is depends on the encoder him/herself if they want to add it in

<1g sure can get 5.1 (but can imagine the video quality la )

the list no problem. recently i also very busy.

but some titles are pretty fine with 700-800mb ver.
the things is, i got fed up when i bought some 'RM 8 Dvd' but the visual quality really dissapoint me. not gambar wayang, but the visual look pecah, scratchy. shit. better with my 700mb torrent ver. alot better.

i think torrentspy got comment feature - so we can know a little bit info regarding the files.
iso? mini?btjunkie? pi-bay?- tons files but no comment.
any super torrent search outhere - gud response/comment from user -PM the link to me plz.

torrentspy sometimes got ppl talk crap there, other than that i dont see problems. RM dvd?? the dvd9 that has vcd quality ar?

Go download a program called VirtualDubMod (it's freeware). Then open the video file there and check out the video information there. It'll show you what kind of video and audio codec it uses.

If it's really 5.1 audio, the file will be much bigger because AC3 audio files are much bigger than mp3s, and dolby digital format is even bigger.

no need virtualdub

gspot codec information is enuff for that purpose

FYI, AC3 = Dolby Digital

Please focus discussion on the way video being made only.Any link to the movie or hint where to get it is prohibited.
