Surcode Dolby Digital and CC

I questioned Minnetonka Audio Software about upgrading the licence from cs6 to cc, this is the reply:
The subscription model and new licensing infrastructure employed by Adobe for Creative Cloud requires a new licensing mechanism for SurCode for Dolby Digital® 5.1 Encoder for Adobe Premiere Pro CC. We at Minnetonka Audio are finalizing the upgrade policy for existing SurCode for Dolby Digital® 5.1 Encoder for Adobe Premiere Pro Creative Suite owners, and will provide that to you within 10 business days.
Who knows what this means.

Here is the latest About upgrading Surcode to CC:
In the past, customers who purchased a license for the SurCode for Dolby Digital 5.1 Encoder (DDPP) in a previous release of the Adobe Creative Suite have been able migrate their license to each latest CS release free of charge - up through the current CS6 version. With the introduction of Adobe’s new Creative Cloud subscription plan, an all-new licensing mechanism for SurCode for Dolby Digital® 5.1 Encoder for Adobe Premiere Pro CC (UDDCC) is required.
For Existing SurCode for Adobe Products Customers:
Permanent license activation on one computer for the built-in SurCode for Dolby Digital 5.1 Encoder module in Adobe Creative Cloud - Upgrade from DDPP to UDDCC.
Serial Number and/or proof of purchase for SurCode for Dolby Digital 5.1 (DDPP) is required. - Please add your current serial number to the remarks field, when completing your order, or simply reply to the Order Confirmation email with your proof of purchase.
This update has been made available to our existing DDPP customers for a fee of $99.00 USD.

I had to email Minnetonka to get my serial number. The $99 fee translates to £69 for us in the UK

  • Dolby Digital or Surcode Dolby Digital

    Hello, i'm new here, have a question, don't know if it's been asked before, but here it goes:
    Is there any big difference between Dolby Digital and Surcode Dolby Digital when you encode on Media Enconder, if i just encode with the regular Dolby Digital will it be 5.1? is it really a noticeable difference from the Surcode?

    Jeff,
    Thank you for the info. If I understood everything, then one would need a SurCode DD 5.1 SS plug-in specific to Encore too.
    Also, as Encore only has passthrough capabilities for DD 5.1 SS, and it cannot be monitored there, it would also seem that Encore would have to be rewritten in the Preview module, to accommodate the 5.1 SS playback.
    With the "old-fashioned" method, one could easily monitor their DD 5.1 SS in PrPro, just not once it is Imported (AC3 DD 5.1 SS) into Encore, though it will write to DVD/BD.
    Now, one other consideration - $. The Minnetonka SurCode plug-in for PrPro prices out with little profit for Minnetonka. They pay enough in licensing fees to Dolby Labs, that even a second license is not discounted beyond the Adobe-user discount. Then, the user would have to acquire a separate plug-in for En, at about another US$250. I wonder how many would shell out a possible total of US$500 to use ADL for DD 5.1 SS, even if it WAS available?
    Until such time, we can just Export/Import and go get that cup of coffee! At least for US$250, we do have a workflow, albeit one with a few more steps.
    Appreciated,
    Hunt
    PS - all of a sudden ADL between PrPro & En does not temp me quite so much.

  • Workflow and requirements to create for dolby digital and dolby sr

    one i have created my 5.1 ac3 encoded file waht are the requirements to get the dolby authorization and what is the correct workflow?

    You do not need Dolby authorization to use a Dolby Digital file on your DVD. Only if you want to use their logo.
    If you want permission to use their logo, you must go to their website, request the authorization packet, fill it out completely, and provide them with a proof of your printed materials and enough time for them to get around to approving it and get back to you.

  • Dolby Digital and NFORCE2

    To day I visited a computer fair where a vendor was selling the K7N2-L for £76.00 and the K7N2G-L for £96.00, but didn’t have the K7N2G-ILSR. I myself wanted to buy one of them but after thumbing both the manuals and peering hard at the motherboards the only obvious difference between them was the TV out option given to the K7N2G-L. I had a squint at the MCP chip on both boards but all that was written on them was nforce MCP. So I left with out purchasing until I find out a bit more:-
    This is how I understand it at the moment, but I’m probably way off track:-
    K7N2-L no TV out but will output Dolby Digital signal (probably through SPDIF) which needs to be fed to an external decoder and then to the speakers (like the Nforce1 K7N420 Pro (MS-6373)).
    K7N2G-L with TV Out and as above.
    K7N2G-ILSR with TV Out and an onboard Dolby Digital decoder which is then output directly to a 5.1 set of speakers without the need for a separate decoder.
    Let me know what you think?

    Ok then, All the boards come with realtek 6 channel audio ( 5.1) sound, but only the K&N2G-ILSR comes with the above and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound

  • Audio lag (dolby digital) and reciev

    I'm noticing a very brief lag in the audio for my Audigy 2 Platinum Pro, and I'm just wondering, is this to be expected in all recievers? When I say recievers, I mean devices like the Platinum Pro and external recievers used in home theater systems. Do all Dolby Digital decoders have some sort of delay in any circumstance?

    Well, in particular the problem that I have is related to playing the XBox with the optical audio support. But since the audio is streamed and there is no way really of 'preloading' a sound, it takes a second, for example, for the audio to kick in when I shoot a gun. My question is, is this to be expected on ALL home theater systems?

  • Question for Dolby Digital and

    Hello. I have a SoundBlaster Platinum soundcard,DDTS-00 Decoder and GigaWorks S750 speakers and I have a problem when seeing movies from my PC.When I use the speakers with Playstation2 with optical cable when the movie has Dolby Digital or DTS sound the option on the decoder turns on that shows the sound mode.When I'm using the speakers with PC and I connect them with coaxial or optical cable and I choose from the sound menu of the DVD program (Cyberlink DVD)what sound I want the option on sound mode of the Creative decoder doen't change.What is going on?Could you tell me what to do?I think that I hear Dolby Surround and not Dolby Digital Neo:6 and DTS:ES. Thank you.Message Edited by pangef on 07-8-2006 06:38 AM

    With your PC, set it up to S/PDIF. This way it by passed all software decoding and leaves it to your speakers .
    IMHO, if people have speakers that can decode DD 5./DTS then use S/PDIF all the way
    I have tested useing software decoders and then using S/PDIF pass through and found the sound is better via S/PDIF.
    Hope that hel

  • DTS and Dolby digital support in Vista for Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor

    Hello, I own a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor with USB connection and would like to know when will be available a drivers for Windows Vista and Windows 7 where we have full support for using the Dolby Digital and DTS decoder, I mention because it seems that?this card is forgotten about the update of drivers and is a pity that it is?lack of the support.

    Sorry for not replying - have been away for the past few days.
    Ok, so I go to Creative Device Control, and on the PCI/USB tab I've changed the sampling rate to 48khz.
    It was previously at 44.kHz
    The bit depth is still at 6bit
    Now the problem seems to be solved.
    The problem was only with the output from the device. And now there are no skips!!
    Excellent!
    Why has that solved it though?
    I've read on other forums (head-fi) that the audigy cards do not run at 44.kHz nati'vely so the sound has to be downsampled.
    Is that skipping an artefact of that downsampling process?
    Will having that set at 48kHz, but recording to a 44.kHz 6bit wav file theoretically reduce the quality of the recording - compared to having it set at 44.kHz and recording a wav at 44.kHz?
    On the SPDIF tab the input sample rate is shown as 44.kHz - as that's what is output by the DAC in my minidisc deck.
    But when I changed the sampling rate on the PCI/USB tab, the SPDIF output sampling rate also changed to 48kHz.
    This means if I wanted to record from the optical output, whilst also recording to the computer, and that device only supported 44.kHz - I can't do that?
    You listed some main reasons to the truth, why Creative SB cards are not very popular on serious use (DAW). I.e. need for resampling. X-Fi's in creation mode are (least said to be) the only ones not resample everything.
    There is a setting for "Bit-Accurate-Recording" (digital modes only) --> have you tried if that works on your recordings?

  • Perhaps silly, but, can Garageband take Dolby Digital 5.1 Input and record?

    Using the built in mini toslink on the Mac? Or, can it simply do stereo? I see no reference to digital, or, AC3, or, TOSLINK or anything else in the help.
    I have a music source that outputs dolby digital and want to be able to accept input from it.

    Didn't think so, have searched the net for products allowing me to use the digital input, have not found any yet. I see things like Handbrake that allow me to convert say MPEG2 movies with DD content, but, what allows me to input the content in the first place?

  • Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect Pack not installing at all!!

    I have (unfortunately) a Soundblaster X-Fi X-treme audio soundcard hooked up through an optical cable to my Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 receiver. Of course, the sound card doesn't come with a Dolby Digital decoder, so it must be purchased seperately through Creative. Well, I downloaded (and PAID FOR) the software here after viewing and MAKING SURE my f'ing card was listed: http://buy.soundblaster.com/_creativ...DDN6Z2H2ADDEZD
    However, when I go to install it the installer says "setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system" then closes. So that's fantastic. No explanations, no nothing. I have a supported card, updated drivers, but the software THAT I PURCHASED FROM CREATIVE simply is not detected. Of course, finding technical support from Creative is like finding water in the desert, so I am here. Can anyone please help me with this? I am about to call my bank and deny the $5.00 transaction if I cannot get this fixed, I've been working on it for two freaking hours now. ANY HELP is greatly appreciated.

    Well, I had a reply typed and clicked "reply" but of course it asked me to log in again and lost my response. It seems their forums are quite awful as well. Suffice it to say, my soundcard is listed here: http://buy.soundblaster.com/_creativ...DDN6Z2H2ADDEZD where I purchased the product. My receiver is capable of playing DVD's in Dolby Digital, and all modern games support it, so I was of the understanding that all I needed was this DTS encoder.
    I was quite angry when I wrote the post, as I couldn't get it to work, their tech support is abysmal (almost non-existent) and there were literally no instructions, it simply gave me the error and booted me. I have written a complaint to the better business bureau and will never again purchase another Creative product. They can $hit on consumers all they like, but consumers like me (and daniel_k it seems) will not forget so easily.

  • Give it to us straight creative, will we EVER see Dolby Digital or D

    I have had enough of the waiting for new drivers to come out for any of the creative sound cards that decode dolby digital and DTS. All of us Sound Blaster card owners deserve to know if out cards will ever get this ENTRY LEVEL feature in our hardware again. I need to start upgrading my system and i need to know that if i go with the top of the line X-FI card with X-RAM, it will get dolby functionality soon. If not, i am willing to forgo the X-RAM and go with a competitor card that does everything under vista without problems, albeit with lower versions of EAX. So come on creative, let me have it, hit me and all the other creative soundblaster owners with the truth. do i keep my hopes up of dolby digital decoding under vista, or do i go elswhere?

    For Serious ! Creative has really dropped the ball on Vista support. Not being to integrate my PC speakers with my entertainment system as I had with XP is mighty annoying. It's strange that the?Creative beta drivers?would decode anything I could throw at it. Then all of a sudden?the so called release drivers mysteriously loose this ability. This points directly to the fact that this is not a technical issue but?one of?licensing.Message Edited by soundfire on 05-08-200706:50 PM

  • Dolby Digital/AC3 encoding?

    I just bought a K8N Neo4, and hooked it up to my Panasonic audio receiver - just the one cable, S/PDIF optical. I was hoping to get 5.1 sound out of this, but all I get is two channel stereo. 
    Is there any way to encode a signal that my receiver can use to produce full surround sound (it supports Dolby Digital and DTS signals)?

    Nice.
    I never even heard of it.  I always thought the only way was to go 6ch analog and have your external amp support multi channel in if the source wasn't DD/DTS already in which case it's not DD anyway.  Otherwise you only get 2ch PCM on the SPDIF. Then again I only have owned Creative sound cards....geez even then Creative made you buy the breakout box to enable AC3 decoding unless you made a board mod...  Of course you still need a multi channel source.  What kind of software do they come with?  Can you play a 6ch .wav for example and have a DD/DTS stream over SPDIF/Optical? or is only really for games, so for simplicity you can have one cable/fiber and not go analog till it 's on the way to the speakers?  Still though except for a few less cables, and when the D/A conversion takes place(and therefore the quality of which component is doing it, sound card or amp) I don't think it's that big of a deal if you have multichannel input amp.  DD is still not lossless compression so the big advantage would seem to be for those without multichannel inputs.  Otherwise it would be an interesting comparrision for the audiophile which I'm not.  You have a pure source and you compress to DD and lose quality and then decode and output  vs. Pure source going analog, losing signal quality along the way and outputting.  someone on the internet has surely done it.

  • No DVD Dolby Digital surround sound in media player or media center in Windows 7

    I mirrored my working config from my Vista 32 bit install into my Windows 7 64 bit install and a Windows 7 32 bit install, but can't get the Dolby Digital SPDIF coax output to work (just get static) in my Windows 7 install when playing a DVD.
    Notes:
    - Both Vista and Windows 7 are on the same PC, but on different partitions of the same hard drive.
    - standard stereo output works fine in Windows 7
    - Dolby Digital and DTS do work in Windows 7, but only in the Sound config window, not in any program.
    I have the latest Creative Audigy 2 ZS Soundblaster Windows 7 drivers installed (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series driver 2.18.0011).
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the Dolby Digital / DTS output to work Windows 7 when playing a DVD?

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting.
    Please try the following to check the S/PDIF device:
    1.    Go to “Control Panel\Hardware and Sound” and click “Sound”.
    2.    In the opened dialogue box, switch to the “Playback” tab, right-click on the box listing the current devices, select Show Disabled Devices and see if the item “Digital Audio (S/PDIF)” will appear. If it appears, please enable it and set it as Default Device and see if it works.
    Considering the issue is related to the specific hardware, it is also recommended that you contact Creative and see if they have any constructive suggestions.

  • Are the movie trailers accessed thru Apple TV in Dolby Digital?

    BExcuse none of them show as being in Dobly Digital when I play them. Thanks in advance for any clarification.

    On my Apple TV in the description for Skyfall, Life of Pi & The Birds it just shows 1080p & CC (no DD symbol) whereas Argo & Psycho shows 1080p DD & CC, I am just going by the film description on the screen before purchasing.  If the description doesn't show that little DD symbol, I assume it is not in Dolby Digital and likely not to give it buying consideration. 

  • WMP Dolby Digital 5.1 with Audigy

    I've never used software DVD players before. WMP will play the video portion of a DVD movie, but no sound at all. All other sound functions work. I'm wondering if something else is needed to get WMP to play sound from movies, or should I just get Win DVD or something?

    Just finished updating the BIOS. Still no 5.1. The properties shows it supports Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD  The Speaker setup gives options for 5.1 Configuration but the only config I can get to play audio is Stereo. My receiver suppports Dolby Digital and DTS and other devices connected work fine. Thanks for your help so far. Any other ideas?

  • Dolby Digital 5.1 Sound Delay

    Hello to all you knowledgable people in the sound department!
    I just hooked up my Koss home entertainment center, which suports Dolby Pro Logic 2, Dolby Digital, and other things, but these seem the most important. System Specs in sig. I have the latest Nvidia Audio Drivers.
    My problem is whether I am playing music, or a game, or make any sound at all with the computer, it is delayed about a second. I have my speakers hooked up through the optical port on the S bracket. This problem is very annoying playing games, as I shoot a shotgun, and I see the flash, and a second later I hear the boom! I plugged headphones into the standard analog speaker jack on the motherboard.. if I am in a game, and shoot something, I hear it right away in the headphones, and then a second later my set of speakers play it. And of course that goes for any kind of sound, such as music. Interestingly enough, I have found that if I choose "5.1 Speakers" in the Nvidia audio setup thing it is no longer delayed, but it doesnt sound as good. Once I switch it back to "5.1 Speakers (Dolby Digital)" then it is delayed, but sounds better. On my receiver it shows the Dolby Digital icon thing, meaning that's what it isusing rather than Pro Logic 2.
    I have searched these forums, the internet, and OCForums with no luck, and this si really driving me crazy!
    ANY help is very much appreciated, thanks!

    Hi,
    Acrobatikdan: Right, played on Doom3 for about an hour (my VGA card's not really up to it, so it's a bit jerky). There was only a very slight difference between what I heard out of my speakers (DD 5.1) and what I was seeing on screen, and wouldn't have been noticeable had I not been looking specifically for it!
    So I reckon you do have problems if there's a second delay! As to what that problem is, I have no idea - unhappily!  
    Sorry I couldn't have been more helpful  
    Btw, If you do manage to fix it please tell us how, as it may help others in the future!
    Here's an interesting page I just found:
    http://www.lvcoyote.com/soundstorm.htm
    Note this quote from the webpage in the link above above, (although he is talking about another motherboard):
    Quote
    Dolby Digital audio should be pre-prepared to be reproduced along with the video.  With weak CPU resources, you will have the sound lagging behind the picture.
    Mind you, I'm only using an XP2400+ and I have no problem!  
    Frenchy over to you mate - any new ideas?!
