Author Topic: APT X-100 Encoding Melyohin Roman Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia Registered: Jun 2004 posted 06-12-2004 12:53 PM                        With WinAMP + APT X-100 Decoder we can to play DTS CD disks for movies. And what about encoding these .aud files? APT site contain plugins for Cool Edit Pro (Adobe Audition) for work with *.spt, *.cut *.snd, *.dss, *.apt *.dss and *.daf) files, but NOT .AUD Someone can help me?  |  IP: Logged Floyd Justin Newton Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 559 From: Phoenix, Arizona, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 06-12-2004 01:48 PM                     May be best to consult your theatre tech. fjn Local 294 Ret.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-12-2004 05:48 PM                        If you want to encode in DTS, you must have DVD Studio Pro 3 for the Mac. And no, nothing on Windows encodes DTS. HOWEVER this is not ATPTX1000 or whatever clever name the theaterical version uses. It is for the superior home codec.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

The Surcode DTS encoder, which includes DVD-V and Music CD encoding is $1995. A standalone CD-only encoder runs $495. Surcode does not make a DTS encoder for APT-X100/theatrical format. Surcode has encoders for DVD Audio MLP and various Dolby Digital encoders (they also make the DD 5.1 encoder for Adobe Premiere Pro). www.surcode.com  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 06-14-2004 12:37 AM                        quote: Melyohin Roman APT site contain plugins for Cool Edit Pro (Adobe Audition) for work with *.spt, *.cut *.snd, *.dss, *.apt *.dss and *.daf) files, but NOT .AUD That's because you have to buy their adobe audition plugin to manipulate .aud files. Here's a quote from their plugin page: quote: Compatibility with Scott Studios, Computer Concepts, Barrcode, The Management and generic apt-X™ files (.dss, .snd, .daf, .cut, .aud) BTW, the plugin does allow you to encode from Windows.

There is only one kind of .aud format, which is why they make you fill out a business validation form to order the plugin. Edit: Looks like they now have it to where you must request a license from an actual manager. May be even more difficult to get that way. I guess they better hope the software doesn't get leaked to a file-sharing pirate...  |  IP: Logged Melyohin Roman Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia Registered: Jun 2004 posted 06-15-2004 01:27 AM                        BTW, the plugin does allow you to encode from Windows.

If you are planning to encode your own disks then you are SOL as DTS charges a royalty for encoding per disk  |  IP: Logged Melyohin Roman Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia Registered: Jun 2004 posted 06-20-2004 10:41 PM                        DTS demands payments also for decoding MOVIE DTS disks. But Winamp plugin APT X-100 Decoder makes it free-of-charge. Means encode it is possible free-of-charge :-)  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-20-2004 11:07 PM                     If you wish to bypass DTS royalties to encode dts then I sujest you take you questions elsewhere  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 06-20-2004 11:15 PM                    Ah, but it wouldn't be DTS then would it? Just CD's with APT-X on it.  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 06-21-2004 01:20 AM                        quote: BTW, the plugin does allow you to encode from Windows. Here's the page I viewed: See http://www.aptx.com/cepdownloadarea.asp - .aud files not supported! Melyohin, I already told you before in this thread they don't allow you to just freely download their .aud codec. It must be purchased from the licensing manager as part of the plugin package, meaning you're not likely to obtain one on your own.  |  IP: Logged Melyohin Roman Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia Registered: Jun 2004 posted 06-22-2004 10:16 AM                        And from them the information: The .aud file format was used by apt as a proprietary file format many years ago. It was based on the IDAS file format and was similar to an .snd file. Have you some equipment that requires this format? A lot of the other file formats we list were modified versions of the .aud format to make them unique to Scott or the other manufacturers. Explain, please, how it works?  |  IP: Logged
