about the 4 channels: they are 4 channels of audio to be played back by a quad set-up.. In fact they are decoded from a b-format recording, but what I want to release is a quad version of the piece.
as I mentioned I cannot consider wav/aiff and other lossless options because of their size. So what I understand from this discussion is that I can use mp3 / flac / AC3 or DTS and that more or less they will be ok with most recent players, right ? so another question arises, how can I create an interleaved file in each case ? what encoders are available and what are the easiest/cheapest options ?? can sox do the job ? m On 25 Nov 2011, at 20:53, Aaron Heller wrote: > Marinos Koutsomichalis <[email protected]> wrote: >> but still I' m not quite sure about the most important issue: >> which is the most 'common' file-format for such things ? > > In terms of installed base of players, AC3 and DTS are the most common > formats for delivery of surround audio.
