TFM Audio Tool is a free and comprehensive audio conversion and audio extraction tool especially designed for the professional user. It not only converts your audio files into other formats, but can also upmix a stereo file into AC3 5.1, or a separate WAV file into 6 mono files for muxing. It seamlessly extracts the audio stream from any AVI, MKV, MOV, MP4, or RMVB video file, and saves it in AC3, DTS, WAV, or MP3 for further editing. While extracting audio from a video file, this professional tool can also change the frame rate of the original video between PAL and NTSC (and vice versa), or according to a custom rate of your choice.

The program’s interface tries to gather all possible settings in one single window, which makes it sometimes somehow confusing. As an example, you will see two “output format” sections in different parts of the interface showing similar options! The upmix and downmix section take a substantial part of the whole interface, and it includes a mixing matrix for you to customize your stereo to 5.1 conversions. In fact, each of the six output channels can be accurately set to play back specific portions of the original stereo mix, and you can also decide on the LFE resonance, the LFE cutoff frequency, and the delay in the surround speakers.

As you may have noticed already, this is neither the typical audio conversion tool, nor the typical audio editor. In fact, it is hard to classify a program that can perform the simplest audio conversion and a fully customized 5.1 upmix, all in one interface. One thing is for sure – to make the most of this tool you do need to know a bit about digital audio.

TFM audio tool is a great software, I have used it to upmix AC3 2.0 soundfiles to 5.1 on two films recorded on HD DTV.
But I ave encountered a litlle problem on one film, after being processed the soundtract doesn't match perfectly with image at the end of the film, there an around 1 second time difference between sound and image (it's OK at the beginning). How can this be avoided ?

BTW, is the umpmic to 5.1 based on the same king of processing than Dolby pro-Logic ?
