Questions about Mixing 5.1 in CS4
Ok I’m attempting my first 5.1 mix in Premiere CS4. I have a couple of basic questions about mixing and exporting in 5.1.
I have created my 5.1 master sequence in premiere and have broken out my 5.1 track to 6 mono audio files. Right now they are all .wma with a very high bitrate because that’s the only format I was able to rip off the Blu-ray disc I’m experimenting with. I have also learned to change my audio hardware to run off of my Matrox Driver to utilize my hardware for my matrox axio LE. The end result I’m trying to produce is a 720p 23.976fps H.264 Blu-ray disc with 5.1 sound.
Questions:
Should I use wma files for audio or something else? At first I noticed a little bit of a lag in performance before switching my audio hardware to the Matrox Driver.
Do I have to use Dolby Surcode upon export to burn in Encore? When I first upgraded to premiere CS4 I used my 3 free encodes while testing the program, is there any way to get them back?
When importing the Audio into Encore is there anything special I need to do or can I just drop the Dolby 5.1 track onto the timeline as I would normally with at stereo track?

The only way to get the Surcode back is to buy it.
Encore will handle 5.1. just fine.
