Can NOT import AC3-Sound in DVD-Architect!

[Factor]

H . E . L . P . me please!

I have a fine AVI-Movie with good 5.1-Sound

1.: As DVD-Architect cannot import AVI with AC3-Sound, i extracted the AC3
2.: I converted the Moviestream to MPEG2
3.: I imported the MPEG2-File (worked)
4.: I tried to import the AC3-Sound..... works NOT!

I`m completely confused HOW i can get this prob to WORK!
Cause:
- VLC media player PLAYS that AC3....AND says: It has 5.1-Channels
- NERO Vision Express MAKES a 5.1-Sound DVD!!!!!!!!!It plays correct on my stand-alone DVD.But i don`t like the Menufeatures of NERO

Does anybody know how i can manage this?
Getting the cool 5.1-Soundtrack into DVD-ARCHITECT?????

BIG Thanx in advance

Extract your AC3 stream using virtualdubmod (direct stream copy) and put it thru AC3fix and then try to use it in DVD architect.

Hi Factor,

Did you register and activate AC3 plugin with Sony Vegas?

@ TECHREACTOR:

Well...... I did everything you told me, and it seemed to work correct.
After i`ve got the AC3-Stream, several Infotools told me:

5.1 > 5 Channels!

It worked to import this into DVD-Architect, but:
In the Audio-Window i only saw TWO Amplitudes.... like Stereo has.
In the Mediaproperties of DVD-Architect i could read again:

5.1 > 5 Channels!

QUESTION 1:
Can it be that DVD-Architect USUALLY shows only 2 Amplitudes?

I started to render the DVD (set to AC3-5.1 Output!!!) but....may be i did the following mistake:
I switched RECOMPRESS for the Audio!!!
When i played the final DVD in my Standalone-Player, my Sony-Dolbyreceivers blue Lamp (for DTS/AC3) came up, and the Display said: Dolby 3/2.
But i couldnt hear the Rearchannels playing the Backsounds.
It seemed like it was only the Frontsound..... mirrored!

QUESTION 2:
Can it be that recompressing makes a Stereostream out of the AC3?

Thanx in advance

It is the standard form of a sound track, one is left and one is right.

Personally, I convert from ac3 to wav, then import it.

[teepee]

Same here, ac3 is a pain. Good converter is ac3to wav, does exactly what it says on the tin..
