Question

Most of us here are pros

Most of us here are pros, we work against tight deadlines and chances are we won't be able to deliver on time and -most importantly won't be able to use the product we pay for-, only because we made the mistake to this update clueless of the fact that we would be missing our audio files. This is outrageous...

      "Most of us here are pros, we work against tight deadlines". If you were and would, you would never update the software in this process, would you? So it's you to blame not preparing, reading the release notes, etc. Take responsibility for your actions and never blame others for your faults. If you do, don't come here crying.

      I would be more direct, but it's not worth it. I've been in the video editing game for 25 years and have watched it go from 1" editing, to AVID, to Premiere Pro. I promise you I have been through it all and this isn't the first Adobe issue and I know it won't be the last. Premiere Pro was always my favorite and by today's standard, it holds up to all pro editing out there. So, I guess I just feel passionate about wanting to use it. If you see that as crying when those of us with passion share our disappointment (which is part of what this is all about so mistakes can be corrected), then that's OK too. Maybe you are right and I should just put my big boy pants on. But yet, I am passionate about wanting to help Adobe.

        Ashraf, sorry for the trouble. It sounds like the Adobe rep said, "people feel it's Adobe who did this on purpose, but unfortunately people fail to understand it's all due to Dolby changes."

        Haven't heard or seen anything about Minnetonka tools either.

        But, did you try Handbrake, which is completely free?

        You might also want to check this related thread and see if any of the solutions suggested there will work for you:

        How to restore Dolby Digital audio encoder/decoder on Windows 7?

        (read through the entire thread)

        Hope that helps.


        Unfortunately, Handbrake cannot handle audio only. Nor does it smart-render interlaced video. This means that everything - video and audio - must be muxed together and re-encoded and deinterlaced. This needlessly complicates my workflow, as I rely on separate video and audio streams, especially when it comes to disc authoring in Encore CS6, which strongly recommends separate video and audio files in order to work properly. And as I noted earlier, Encore cannot handle multichannel audio outside of already-encoded Dolby Digital 5.1 files (in other words, no 5.1 audio support, only AC3 5.1 passthru). Worst of all, Handbrake-rendered video files with audio muxed in will be flagged by Encore as non-compliant, forcing yet another transcode/re-encode (this means that 5.1 audio will get mixed back down to 2-channel stereo on the re-encode).
