NeroVision 2 Dolby 5.1???

[CharlyAR]

I'm trying to convert AVI (XviD, AC35.1) -> DVD using NeroVision 2 full, but no matter what I do it downsamples the AC3 to 2 channels!

I didn't find any configuration dialog, option, nothing.

Anyone have any idea? :(

Perhaps they are just paranoid about Dolby Licensing getting on their case, even though you are not asking for AC3 encoding to be done by the program. Dolby Licensing is approx. $75 per channel, which is why 5.1 encoders are expensive (at $499, Apple DVD Studio Pro2 barely covers the licensing for it's included A-Pack ac3 encoder).


Arky ;o)

Yeap, you were right.
It seems to need an extra plugin (U$ 18) to be able to make anything with Dolby 5.1. :(

and it is a left over program from DVD Studio 1.x, and currently has issues when encoding on a dual processor machine.
