Where I live - Germany - the "minor" stations try to use less bandwidth on the satellite transponders / in their bouquets, and transmit only one AC-3 audio stream with two channels. Nevertheless, I get quite proper surround sound from my sound system during many movies. So my conclusion is that they use the PLII "down-mix".

Carl Eugen had pointed out this file: https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/libs/libmythfreesurround/el_processor.cpp and its main worker function is block_decode(). It's far less simple than your example, and sort of corresponds to my understanding of what a decoder needs to do. You can't just add and subtract left and right channels. Since you have to work with phases, you need to do FT when operating in the digital domain. (From what I still know from my studies in electrical engineering.) And that's what this function does. Nevertheless, there's an implemention there! And even open sourced. > I don't pretend to know what should happen Disclaimer: I do honestly mostly pretend to know, but I really don't know much. ;-) Cheers, Moritz _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
