New Dolby Encoder:Any Users?
Hi All,
There were posts several weeks ago for the Neyrinck Sound,Code Dolby Encoder/Decoder. Has anyone actually started using it? I'm am seriously considering buying it and wanted any objective opinions you can offer. Also any new on the DTS version? All the best, Mitch

Re: New Dolby Encoder:Any Users?
I have used it on a couple of DVD projects where the DVD's have gone double platinum and Gold. The band was very happy with the encoder quality and I could drop in when I did changes to the mix. All from within Tools, far to cool a toll not to have.
Best Regards Simon L. |

The SoundCode For Dolby Digital plug-in suite started shipping on November 4. Demo downloads are available on the Neyrinck website.
A DTS version is in development, but no firm date has been announced yet. Paul Neyrinck www.neyrinck.com |

Re: New Dolby Encoder:Any Users?
It's an excellent package which takes the guesswork out of the whole Dolby encoding thing. You can preview your encode in real time so you can check if metadata is having an adverse effect. And you can try different downmix parameters to see how they effect the mix, and so on.
Plus, on a fast G5 it's SUPER FAST. I've encoded 90 minutes of 5.1 @ 448 kbps in less than 30 minutes on a dual 2.7 G5. One third of real time! As Simon said, too cool not to have if you do this sort of thing,

Re: New Dolby Encoder:Any Users?
I use it almost everyday.
As any other encoder/decoder there is a slight learning curve to understand how it works. READ THE MANUAL before using it. However by far this is the easiest and most straight foward Dolby encoder/decoder system I've ever used. Did I mention it is faster than realtime? I love thit and would highly recommend it. Azuolas |

Re: New Dolby Encoder:Any Users?
What about the timecode features? Can you reliably deliver this to a DVD authoring program and make use of the timecode to ensure perfect sync?

Re: New Dolby Encoder:Any Users?
So far no problems. Whats great is that it has both AS and realtime versions. So you can play the realtime on against picture to check the sync. It does every possible dolby digital format with exception of dolby e (which dolby does not license to the software developers yet). Otherwise a killer plug for surround and film work.

Re: New Dolby Encoder:Any Users?
Hi All,
I've been waiting to hear from you all. Thanks Simon but I wouldn't be using it for DVD-Audio but to prepare soundtracks for Film/TV. So the sync issues are vital for me. I'm just tired of sending my stuff out and depending on the DVD Authoring facility to do the work. I like to be hands on. If I understand you correctly after you have encoded your mix you can view it in sync within your PT session. Even better you can actually preview the mix...This sounds fantastic. Until now I have had to use A-Pac. Burn a DVD, take it home, listen to it, come back, make corrections etc. I see it also supports DolbyEX. But on the website it says "Supports metadata extensions including indication of Dolby Surround EX" Please define. Is it working in PT 7? It sounds excellent. I'll download a demo and check it out. Thanks for you help. Mitch
