Converted 5.1 FLAC to 6ch WAV. How to figure out speaker mappings?

[idbirch]

Hi, I have used dMC to convert a 5.1ch FLAC file to a 6ch WAV file. The conversion went fine and the resulting WAV file plays fine with AC3Filter. By monitoring the outputs in AC3Filter I can see it is getting the channel mappings correct.

My goal is to convert to 5.1 AC3 so I now need to run the WAV file through SoftEncode. SoftEncode opens the file fine but for some reason just guesses (icorrectly) at the speaker mappings. By examining the graphs for each channel and then comapring that to AC3Filter outputs at the same timecode, I have been able to change the mappings to the correct ones.

My question is, will dMC use the same speaker order on every conversion or is there a way to set this in dMC to prevent me having to manually check each channel in SoftEncode every time?

Thanks.

dMC will use the same, if you install the DSP effects there is a channel mapping effect.
