burning a DVD with video + 4.1 surround sound?
Hi everyone,
Is it possible to burn a DVD with video + 4.1 surround sound?I’m making visuals for a musician and the whole thing (25 mins) is going to be shown in a gallery. Ideally we want them to start playing at the same time using one dvd player. I’m sorry if this is pretty basic I did actually search for similar posts with no luck.
So if it is possible at all can I do it using Final Cut Studio 2? And how do I export and then burn? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.Cheers!

Cut video in FCP with your sequence settings set to 6 mono discrete channels for audio. When you export, do a video only quicktime export using current settings and do a separate audio export to AIFF of your sequence. That will give you an AIFF of each track. Go to Compressor and choose an AC3 setting and duplicate. Set it up for a 2/2 (quad) channel layout with LFE turned on, like this:
Leave all the rest of the settings intact and save this setting. Then, in the project window, click “Add Surround Sound”. Here you assign a surround sound item the channels you’ve exported from FCP. Click each speaker and select the file you want to play there. Any channels you don’t have, leave them empty. Apply your preset to this surround sound item and process. This will give you an AC3 file ready to mate with your MPEG-2 video for authoring.
