Blu Ray 5.1 Audio In Toast 9

[morgster]

I am making a blu ray and want to encode HD video and 5.1 audio onto it. I am going to be given a 5.1 mix from my audio post studio, but I'm wondering whether toast can burn that 5.1 mix directly to the Blu ray disk. I use toast 9 for my blu rays but never have placed a 5.1 mix onto it...

 

is this doable? or is there any other software that can do that?

 

Thanks

Nope, not doable. Toast re-encodes everything to stereo.

Just wondering how you mux together? do you mean mux two together... I think if this is possible this is the way to go for me. My audio file will already be made as a 5.1 mix so can I just copy it over, or do I have to use something else like compressor?

 

The case where I've gotten this to work no problem is using EyeTV recordings that are HD and have a AC3 5.1 Soundtrack. These files are .mpg files. When I open them up in MPEG Streamclip and export them at transport streams, I can then add those transport streams to Toast 9 and it does not reencode them. As for how to combine things - Compressor will do it, but Toast will reencode it. To find out more about that read other threads

If you can mux to together prior to giving it to Toast as a transport stream, toast will simply copy it (5.1 audio included) onto the Blu-ray.

But so far it seems there's no way to use any other software to encode something, that Toast won't re-encode or that will play successfully after Toast formats it.
