Hi.

Please could somebody clarify for me:

Which Dolby Digital AC3 encoder is supplied and activated with Sound Forge Pro 11??? Is it the Dolby STUDIO or the Dolby PRO encoder???

Regards,

Dale.

AFAIK, the Dolby AC-3 Pro encoder came with DVD Architect Pro and some versions of Vegas Pro... (but not VP14 *). Once installed, the AC-3 Pro encoder works in SF.

* There was a lot discussion on the lack of AC-3 Pro encoder in the Magix Vegas forum. https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/ac3-pro-render-missing-in-vp14--103633/#ca641707

Hi rraud.

Thanks so much for the response and info.

Yip. I'm rather familiar with that thread (unfortunately)!!!

I was "hoping" insofar as Sound Forge Pro 11 is concerned i.e. I was trying to find any possible way around to NOT having to ALSO buy Vegas Pro 13 (as I just bought Vegas Pro 14 Suite only to then find out about the Dolby Digital Pro vs. Studio issue and the problems with burning Blu-ray with surround with the Studio encoder). But: I've given up in disgust, capitulated, and Vegas Pro 13 is "in the mail" as it were.

Thanks again.

Dale.
