Rise of Nations Original Soundtrack DVD – Stereo and DTS Surround

Composer/Producer – Duane Decker; Executive Producer – Nile Rodgers; Orchestrator – Stan LePard
Tracking Engineer – Tawm Perkowski; Mixing/Mastering – Duane Decker

Ripped from the DVD with DVD Audio Extractor (http://www.dvdae.com/), including the 2-channel-only "Bonus Music Tracks" and the audio from the game’s opening movie scene. The DVD also contains Dolby Digital surround audio, but at a third the bitrate of the DTS, so I figured there’s no point in posting it separately.

Though it claims everything is 48kHz, inspecting the frequency content, it appears to be 44.1 upsampled (not uncommon to happen on DVDs). Inspecting the fade-outs and how low the volume gets before reaching nothing, it does seem that it is real 24 bit, so you can take some comfort in that I guess. And although it’s advertised as being 5.1 surround and reads as 6 channels, this is actually 4.1 — that is, there is a front left and right, rear left and right, and a subwoofer channel, but the center channel has nothing in it. You can play the .dts files with VLC media player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) or a component (http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_input_dts) for foobar2000 (http://www.foobar2000.org/).

The ISO also contains the bonus features of the intro movie to the game (from which I ripped the audio and included in with the bonus tracks in the other downloads) and an interview with Nile Rodgers and Duane Decker, which is pretty long with just a few interesting things said. Not really deal-makers, but it does have the convenience of menus, the option between stereo, Dolby, and DTS audio, plus the ease of burning.

Just let me know if the links go down or anything.

I don’t want to be a burden but, are you going to make a .iso of the DVD ? I’m unsure you are since you provided the DTS files and talked about burning them.
Pleaase, see your pms as well.

Anyway, thanks for this awesome share.

Thanks for your work!

I would second an iso image too, which regular DVD players would understand 🙂 Thanks though – this is a really nice surprise!
