  • Export a movie for DVDStudioPro in 5:1 Surround

    Posted by Laura78 on June 14, 2005 at 5:19 pm

    Is it possible to export a FC Pro HD movie in 5:1 Surround for DVDStudioPro? Or must I work in post in DVDSP? And How? I don’t work with audio but it will be give it to me edited on Cubase and it’s already 5:1. In FCSP there are just 2 options in Export: Mono and Stereo.
    Thanks!!

    The 5.1 audio needs to be converted into a data stream like Dolby Digital or DTS. If you have APak on your Mac use it to load your 5.1 aif files and convert to an AC3 stream (Dolby Digital). Import the AC3 file into DVDSP and marry it with the picture file, exported from FCP and converted to m2v file (mpeg2). Don’t import the 5.1 into FCP and then try to export it back out again.
