AC3 stereo to AC3 6CH

[El Mariachi]

Ok here goes

I got the DVD of Wing Commander IV game, I want to make all the cutscenes into one movie.

I re-saved all the logical bits and pieces to 150 divx files with 6CH AC3 384kbps
problem is, Origin thought it was cool to have 6 scenes with 2CH AC3 192kbps sound.

which results into problem. I can't attach all the files together with Virtualdub(MOD)

I found a solution. Using BeSweet and Azid, problem is I've to change the framerate of most parts to make the new AC3 sound in sync AND Virtualdub says it's gone from 6CH to 5CH, even though when playing a part i see 6 bars in the mixer.

What is the best way to keep all the 6CH as they are and just change the 2CH 192kbps to 6CH 384kbps

Besweet/Azid is not good, after just doing the 2CH files and attach them using virtual dub it says: "Audio streams have different sampling rates 31.25000 vs 48000.00000)

the second one being the new AC3 file

So my real question is.
Which is the best program to join AVI files and keeping them in sync and having a bit of play with the samplerates/audiochannels?

you can use hypercueb transcoder with windvd/powerdvd to upmix the 2ch ac3s to 6 waves and encode the 6 waves to ac3

Hypercube Transcoder says
"Unable to render xxxx.ac3, perhaps some filters are missing"


I got the AC3 file using virtualdubAC3 and save WAV/AC3

I downloaded the program, fiddled around with it, saved the AVI file, it turned out to be the same size 2CH AVI that it was before

then I loaded WinDVD or PowerDVD, both didn't do anything with AVIMUX GUI or interacted.

Can someone help me step by step because it seems difficult.

extract the audio from teh avi with avimux
then use that audio in hypercube-transcoder
