Thanks for responding John. I think I’ve tried so many different iterations that I got myself upside down with my settings. I don’t remember a “Make Movie” button (Vegas or Architect?)I used “Make DVD” I believe. I did create a separate AC3 file and then dragged and dropped into Architect but when I played the DVD, I got mega sound from the right front, little sound from the left front, and no sound from the surround speakers. My stack of blank DVDs is quickly turning into a stack of coasters. Whatever the settings are to make a quality video from .m2ts files with 5.1 sound, I’ll take anything I can get. Whatever video quality I’ve been getting (not even sure what the numbers on it would be) is fine so I’m really trying to fix the sound. Thanks in advance to anyone responding, I certainly appreciate your help.
