can you guys tell me a tutorial to tell me how to make an mp3 or an audio cd to dolby digital and burn it as audio cd thanks..or is it even posible???

You can't make a dolby digital CD. First off The DTS encoding process has exclusive rights for 5.1 surround on CD. this is why you will never see a commercial CD encoded with Dolby. And no CD player made will play back a Dolby digital CD since they don't exsist. And since the Dolby audio track isn't a standard stereo, 16 bit, 44.1khz format, you probably couldn't burn it to a CD anyway.

You have two other options. You can make a DVD audio disc with Dolby encoding or you can make a DTS CD.

I would suggest going here http://www.minnetonkaaudio.com/home_3.htm and look at their products and do some reading. They will have all the info you need.

PS. Be prepared to spend some serious money, it ain't cheap.

I have to ask, why would you want to take a stereo format like CD or mp3 and turn it into Dolby digital? You're not going to gain anything from it.

I was wondering the same thing. :confused: You can't "make-up" 3.1 more channels from a 2-channel source.

With the right software, you can encode an approximation from a decoded Dolby Surround 4-channel source (like many Asian bootleggers do with laserdisc Dolby Surround soundtrack transfers to Dolby Digital DVDs), but that's about it. Pretty much worthless.
