  5.1 Audio in DVD Architect Studio 5

  Posted by Al Morello on April 7, 2015 at 6:44 am

  When trying to make a Blu-Ray DVD in DVD Architect Studio 5 my only options are “Stereo.” But if I select a regular DVD, I get the option to select a 5.1 AC3 file as audio.

  Is there a way to get the Blu-Ray to accept a 5.1 PCM wav file or 6 separate wave files for the 5.1 surround audio? Or do I need to upgrade to DVD Architect Pro in order to do this?

  I’m guessing that this is Sony’s way of getting you to upgrade. I don’t have the Studio version and I couldn’t find a comparison table on their web site but if the option is missing, it’s probably a restriction of the Studio version.

  DVD A Studio 5 online (F1) Help:
  “Audio format: …choose a setting to indicate the format whether you want to use PCM Stereo audio, AC-3 Stereo audio, or AC-3 5.1-surround audio.
  Only PCM Stereo audio is available for Blu-ray Disc projects.”
  
  DVD A Pro 5.2 and 6.0 online Help:
  “Audio format: …choose a setting to indicate the format whether you want to use PCM Stereo audio, AC-3 Stereo audio, or AC-3 5.1-surround audio.”

  You can burn from Vegas timeline with your 5.1 PCM to a disc without any menus.
  Vegas Pro 13 (and MSP 13) online Help:
  “Burning a Blu-ray Disc from the timeline: …Wave64 (PCM) audio for Blu-ray Disc can use any of the following formats:
  48 kHz, 16 or 24-bit, stereo or 5.1 surround (available only for 5.1 surround projects)
  96 kHz, 16 or 24-bit, stereo or 5.1 surround (available only for 5.1 surround projects).”

  Hi, I am having a issue rendering AC-3 5.1 Surround in DVD Architect Pro 6, Project set for AC-3 5.1 to build Blu-ray disc. The player does not output any sound, only beeps.
  Using Vegas Pro 13 video AVC Blue-ray video stream at 17 Mbps
  Using Vegas Pro 13 audio ac3 5.1 and imported into DVD Architect 6.

  DVD Architect Project is set to Audio 5.1 AC-3.

  Any ideas to succeed with 5.1 Surround using DVD Architect?

  Marek
