Hi,
What is the option for FMV (full motion video) sequencess (like avi files) in game to have DD 5.1 surround sound using XACT on PC
Can this be achieved by doing an avi file with AC3 stream Or there is another aproach And what if AC3 will be used an the gamer doesn't have external amplifier with DD 5.1 decoder built in what's then XACT will handle it and downmix it to stereo or to analog 6 channels if sound card is 6chn or maybe i don't understand something here ;)
regards

I know that it must be avi file with 6chn wav or MWV file with wma 5.1 sound....
but if 6ch wav is taken into consideration then how to make it smaller (what compression and what tools need to be used)

XACT wasn't designed to support the audio portion of FMV playback. It also doesn't support AC3 content. If you're using a FMV player such as Bink, you can just use the format that they specify.
Also, in general, games shoudln't be using pre-encoded AC3 (Dolby Digital) unless they also provide a stereo mixdown as well (in PCM or ADPCM format). This is because you can't count on there being a Dolby Digital decoder on the system.
For multichannel sound playback on Windows, it's best to use either WMAPro format or simply multichannel PCM/ADPCM.
