Make Stereo to 5.1 Dolby and burn in Encore

I encoded audio with Canopus Procoder Pro to a 5.1 channels wav file. When bringing it into Encore, I get a message that Encore doesn't support more then 2 channel audio.
So then I used a free GUI program called Wav To AC3 Encoder (2.1) that converted the wav file to a 5.1 channel AC3 audio file that Encore excepted.
When opening this AC3 file with GSpot, GSpot detects that it's a 5 channel audio file.
My question is how can I check to see if it's really burning as a 5 channel audio disk? If I put it into a surrounding system, what should I hear different from a regular stereo disk, in a surrounding system?
I've read that it's possible to extract 5 channels from a 2 channel wav as so: (http://users.tkk.fi/u/empohjol/upmix/index.html):
This is an algorithm that upmixes a stereo recording to five discrete channels to be played on a Dolby Digital capable home-theatre system. The working principle of the upmix algorithm is that it recognizes ambience sounds and assigns them to the rear speakers. This algorithm is very well suited for classical music recordings, where the ambience comes from the reverbarating music hall, but it works also for studio recordings. The front speakers plays the panned direct sound.
So what do you guys think?

Encore does not encode 5.1 audio, but it will accept DVD-legal 5.1 AC3 streams and pass them through to the disc as 5.1.
However, I do not know if your free encoder is producing DVD-legal streams.
The only way to test for 5.1 audio is to burn a disc and play it in your DVD player on a surround system. If you've done your job pre-mixing the audio (before it was encoded to AC3 and brought into Encore), you should hear the 5.1 mix on your surround system.

Wanna make a slide show of my photos and burn to dvd

I just got my mac. Novice at best.
However, I am a quick study.
Tech nerd.
I want to make a slide show of photos and burn to a dvd for my "non-tech" parents to play in their dvd player.
What's the easiest way.

The easiest way is to use iDVD; however, Apple doesn't bundle that with new Macs and you can't buy it from the App Store. It is apparently still available on iLife disks, but you'd want to check the label.
iPhoto will create a nice slideshow which can be converted to a movie. Then you will need something like iDVD or Toast to create the DVD. http://support.apple.com/kb/VI195
As you say you are new to Macs, I don't imagine you have an old copy of iDVD on another Mac.

How can I make a slideshow with music and burn it to a disk?

I need to make a photo slideshow with music and burn it to a disk. I am able to make the slideshow but I cant figure out how to save it or burn it to a disk.

How do you want to play the slideshow? On another computer or on a TV set?
If it's the former export the slideshow as a QT movie file to the desktop and burn that file to a disk with the Finder.
If you want to create a video DVD of the slideshow so that it can be viewed on a TV set, use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option. That will export the slideshow into iDVD where you can complete the menu and project design.
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

My brand new iPhone 5 keeps saying "Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure "___" is turned on and in range" when I try to connect to my BlueTooth Stereo.

I just bought a brand new iPhone 5 (White and Gold) and have been having trouble keeping it connected to my BlueTooth Stereo. The stereo was purchased brand new back in September and is current on all software. Before I had my iPhone 5, I had the iPhone 4 and had no troubles with it connecting or remembering to connect to the stereo when it was in range. Now, in order to connect to it, I have to first "forget the device" then search for it again, find it, and connect. As soon as I turn either the stereo off, turn the iPhone off, or switch modes on the stereo (to CD mode, radio, etc) it loses the connection and does not pick it up again. It still shows up in my list of available bluetooth devices, but when I try to connect it says "Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure '____' is turned on and in range" which of course, it is.
I bought this stereo because I am a music teacher and use my phone frequently when teaching my classes. You can probably imagine how cumbersome it becomes when after each class if I have alternated between using my iPhone to play music or switching to CD mode, I then need to "forget the device" and follow the steps I outlined above to get it working again.
Has anyone else had this problem with the new iPhone and does anyone have a solution (I HOPE!!!!!)
Thanks!

Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

Good software to make and burn movies to dvd using 10.8.2

10.8.2 does not support I DVD I am looking for a good software to make my own movies yet be simple to use and burn to DVDs. I'm a beginner and need help thanks

You can use iDVD with 10.8.2 - I am; it still works (although it is no longer included as it used to be). So, if you have a retail iLife 09 or 11, install it. If you don't, it is absolutely worth going to Amazon or ebay or some other resellers and buying a copy of the retail iLife 11 disk.

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

I'm using GarageBand 10.0.1. Do the built-in drum tracks only come in mono format, or is it possible to make them true stereo (i.e. Left and Right channels outputing different signals, to sound like the kit has been panned across the stereo field)?

All the Drum Kits available for GarageBand are mixed in stereo.
Logic provides the same 18 Drum Kits also as "Producer Kits", which are multi-track outputs,. Each Drum Kit Piece (Kick, Snare, HH, etc) and also room mice and overheads are routed to individual channel strips.
Here is a screenshot of one Drum Kit in Logic Pro X with individual Channels Strips. Each Channel Strip can be loaded with individual effects (compressor) and adduced with individual sends, etc.
What that means is that all the Drummers are professionally recorded and sampled with individual mics. The Stereo Drums Kits are just "stereo mix-downs" for easier handling and less CPU demand. I explain all the details about the Drummer ecosystem in my graphically enhanced manual "GarageBand X - How it Works"
Hope that helps

How to Make a Still from Video and Burning a DVD

Hello All,
I am using FCP HD and I would like to know how do you make a still photo from video footage?
Also I have to burn an editing project to dvd. I don't know how to use studio pro, but the person said that it needs to be a ntsc full resolution version. I am not sure what that means.
The project is about 10 minutes long and this person had me using the H.264. I have been playing around and I think I not doing something write because when I send the project to compressor it tells me that I have like 200+ hours befoe it outputs.
Could someone give me some simple instructions using the H.264 on how to do a good large size (over 320x240) QT movie to dvd?
THANKS...

To export a still park the playhead on the image you want, mark IN OUT, go to FILE>EXPORT>QUICKTIME CONVERSION. Click on QUICKTIME MOVIE and In the dropdown choose STILL IMAGE.
You will have to De-Interlace it in Photoshop after you export.
As for making the DVD:
Shane's Stock Answer #3:
To export your DV project so there is no loss in quality, simply go to the File Menu and select EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE. Not Quicktime Conversion, fot this will compress the footage. Make sure the settings match your timeline settings, make it self contained and you are set.
Import this into iDVD or DVDSP and burn your DVD. Don't go the h.264 route.

Have you posted this question on the MacBook Pro discussion?

I am not sure what you mean. iMovieHD to iMovie??? Do you mean iMovieHD to iDVD? If you have made a movie with iMovieHD, you can open iDVD create a simple theme and drag your iMovieHD project to iDVD, check to make sure it will play, then burn your DVD in iDVD.
That should work.

How do I make a Disk image and burn an install Disk, Ive tried it a couple of times, but will not boot up.

Thanks for getting back to me, Yes it does, it came with the machine.
Hi pfhannon,
Does the original Install disk that you are copying,
boot your computer?
You may be successfully making a copy of a disk that
is not suitable for your machine.
