Oh.

Ok, but then why, when I actually burn the file to blu-ray, am I not hearing any of the other channels?

Michael–

I’m sorry, but I am telling you exactly the steps that i’ve taken. I’m not trying to hide some weird procedure, or anything else you may think I’m leaving out. I’ve even tried it 3 times now, just to be sure.

Yes, that’s exactly what I did. And yes, that is an .ac3 file, dragged into the timeline:

So here’s my workflow:

My Sequence settings are for 6 channels, all set to 0 db (I had left them at the defaults, but changed them when all this din’t work to see if it would help), all set to Dual Mono.

I then set each audio channel from 1-6 in the timeline. I then exported the tracks you see as the first set in the timeline as Audio as Aiff, using 48k, 16-bit, Channel Grouped. I got the resulting files which I then checked by importing and placing them on the timeline as well (This is the second set in the timeline).

I then open Compressor, and select Add Surround Sound. I add all the 6 exported .aif’s into the window to their corresponding channels, and click ok. I then drag the Dolby Digital Professional 5.1 preset onto the source, and click submit. I then drag the resulting .ac3 into fcp to check the audio, and that is the third set in the timeline.

That’s weird. I just looked on my DVD Architect Pro 5.0 Projects folder, and in there, there’s a folder called My Discs and in there is a saved .iso from my last project.

Hi, Stephen–

I seem to recall on my last DVDA project, I was able to create a .iso? Is that possible?

Thanks again.

[Jeffrey Ellis]

Ah, cool. I’ll keep that in mind.

[Jeffrey Ellis]

That’s cool to know, too. Thanks 🙂

[Jeffrey Ellis]

That’s perfect. Thanks again, John 🙂

[Jeffrey Ellis]

nm, John– I got it 🙂

Thanks again.

Oh, also, which Apple ProRes is better. I see (blank — plain vanilla I assume), (HQ), (LT), (Proxy), and 4444?
