  • importing 5.1 ac3 audio in dvd architect problem

    Posted by Dennis Stimac on October 25, 2008 at 5:04 am

    Hi all
    Im trying to import a vegas created 5.1 surround ac3 encoded file into a dvd architect 5, 1440 x 1080i 5.1 project.

    When the file is imported, it shows up as stereo with all the audio on the right channel and barely any audio on the left channel.
    The audio also plays from the project timeline mainly out of the right speaker only. (a tiny bit out of the left just like it looks on the timeline). The project settings definetly are set up for 5.1, ac3.

    The ac3 file plays fine on all channels when played in windows media player. I know the file is ok since i can hear it in media player, i know the project settings are 5.1 sound. What the heck is going on? Why am I stuck with a partial mono, 5.1 surrond track in DVD Architect?

    any help is much, much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    dennis

    Architect only SHOWS a stereo “downmix”. Burns result back to 5.1 however.
    I noticed this too.
