What an hilarious coincidence

I'll be the first to ask: How do I burn this? Data files onto a CD?

Load up the log/cue files or whatever you windows people use, Nero or whatnot. Mac users may want to consult a friend with windows, as Toast freaks out trying to burn these. I know from experience.

Considering I have a 13.xx ratio and have had one complaint, I am led to believe x-box can not read the disc properly. deepzone, it is definitely dts.
thanks for making others worry. it's done no help to the distribution.

xbox systems can't read DTS formatted cds, so that explains that problem.
@dEEPZoNE: try playing the discs in a physical cd player and let us know how it sounds. if they're just wav rips of the stereo cds it'll play fine. if they're DTS you'll hear static, much like shik1 is hearing.

Hi folks, I don't have 5.1 equipment, I'm interested in separating out the channels to use parts in a (stereo) remix. The .wav file headers say they are 2-channel. Compare the "file" output to a 6-channel surround sound .wav:
jon@konishi:~/Downloads/the fragile (surround)$ file left.wav ~/*wav
left.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz
/home/jon/chan-id.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, 6 channels 44100 Hz
Can anyone recommend tools (preferably on Linux) that would extract the channels - even with an incorrect header?
TIA.

given to 20+ people, it's time for me to move along. enjoy, and keep the torrent alive as long as possible!

Where's "No, You Don't"?

i forgot it when i wrote the tracklist down. it's definitely here.

I'm listening to this right now, and it's the real deal. How on earth you can get full 5.1 on to a CD, I have no clue, but this sounds phenomenal. Cheers friend, great upload!

ubertalldude (2008-10-29)

This is a WAV rip of the DTS stream so that the "hissing audio" you hear on a normal CD player or your computer is played through your DVD player and into your DTS-enabled surround sound receiver where it is then decoded and played through your speakers.
This might work if you have your player connected with stereo cables, but I am not sure, but it does work with optical audio cables and coaxial digital audio.
You just have to burn the WAV file onto a cd as-is. You can do it with Nero or anything that plays/burns audio files onto a CD in CD format [Windows Media Player, Winamp, iTunes, etc.] and it SHOULD work.
Hope that clears everything up.

@NeverTheSame
"and it's the real deal."
define "real deal"?
This is a fan creation, not an official real 5.1 release.
@jdowland - as above.
There is no point extracting the channels from this, as it was created from the officially released stereo source.
There is nothing in this that you cannot create from the stereo version.
If anyone knows who actually created this, PHM 5.1 and Broken 5.1, please let me know, it'd be nice to know who to thank!

I've listened to it, and i guess this has been done using DPLamb and Plogue Bidule. As for the 5.1 quality itself i cannot judge it, since it was created by the official stereo source. A good quality 5.1 mix would have been great if it was created by using the QSXT-Pro bidule, and all the VSTs plugins that need it. But other than that, thanks anyway for sharing this.
