  QuickTime with 5.1 audio to play out mac opticle port

  Posted by Mark Linthicum on July 10, 2007 at 10:23 pm

  I need to play a movie for a screening, I am thinking I would just make a pro res QuickTime with 5.1 aac in compressor. Does anyone know if this will work and anything I might need to do. I have never made a QT with 5.1 or used the opticle port so any info would be geatly apreaciated.

  Thanks!

  Why wouldn’t you simply create a DVD with Dolby 5.1 tracks?

  Connect the optical cable to an amp or stereo receiver that has an optical port. Make sure that in your System Preferences – Sound that you select your Output as Digital Out.

  It should work like a charm.
