AAC Profile for 5.1
AAC Profile for 5.1
I am trying to use the AAC profile but if I want to convert DTS-MA to 5.1 AAC not Stereo-2 Channel. Every time I change the mix settings the xml fails to load or I get an error with 5.1(Side) not supported. Can anyone suggest an approach to this?

EAC3To and NeroAACEnc/Qaac
Re: AAC Profile for 5.1
"aac-gpl" seems to work with 5.1 but it uses FFMPEG AAC so you'd probably be better of with Nero.
Re: AAC Profile for 5.1
I thought MakeMKV used libfdk? It definitely supports 5.1 encoding, though you might need to ask for 5.1(back) rather than 5.1(side) in FFmpeg?
Re: AAC Profile for 5.1
channel_layout=5.1[FL][FR][FC][LFE][SL][SR]
or
:map=0.0-FL|1.0-FR|2.0-FC|3.0-SL|4.0-SR|5.0-LFE
Would be the FFMPEG commands that determine these things, if you can figure out how to add either of them, or even if you can.

Re: AAC Profile for 5.1
That's 5.1 side though, 5.1 back would have BL and BR in place of SL and SR.
Re: AAC Profile for 5.1
Thank you all for your fast response. I have just started working with the profiles. The current AAC stereo profile reads:
<outputSettings name="aac" outputFormat="AAC">

How would I incorporate the commands described above into the XML?

Re: AAC Profile for 5.1
I have also been working on an AAC-LC multichannel conversion profile.
Does anyone know of a resource that details the basic syntax for the libfdk_aac codec as used within the XML conversion profile?
The codec is definitely able to encode in multichannel, it's just a matter of figuring out how to tell it to do so within the mmcp.xml file.

Re: AAC Profile for 5.1
I have also wanted multi channel AAC encoding and have succeeded in getting it to work for 5.1 channels. 7.1 channel is available in the MakeMKV GUI also and it will try to do it, but then returns with an error stating unsupported in ffmpeg. Do we need a new ffmpeg update? How can this be done?
Here is the xml file code I used to get AAC 5.1 encoding to work. It was modified from the current stereo AAC.

Re: AAC Profile for 5.1
If you set the "outputChannelLayout" in an "audioMixSettings" to "5.1b" and add that to your "-multi" profile entries you can use the default AAC encoder (libfdk_aac) which has better compression than aac-gpl. It will also downmix 7.1 to 5.1. As to what it will do to 4.0 or 5.0... you'd have to deal with those kind of occurrences manually (there's "5.0b", but there are no named channel layouts for anything else, 6.1 and 7.1 included.)
Re: AAC Profile for 5.1
Thank you for the help with the channel mapping. I have added the multi audio mix with 5.1b channel mapping. (Rear not side speakers) I confirm that 7.1 channels are not working. A shame as this is what I originally wanted to get happening.
