Is there a downloadable software for creating or mixing 5.1 surround sound?
Answer
Currently, there are several ways to create a 5.1 mix. Some editing paths enable you to build the surround mix in the DVD creation application. Other paths put the creation point earlier in the production stream, at the point where an audio editing application is used.
In both cases, the NLE is used to build a set of tracks that carry discrete audio. These tracks do not yet have spatial information â with the exception of stereo tracks. However, Avidâs Liquid and Sonyâs Vegas are able to create a six-channel spatial mix directly in a timeline.
For consumers, Dolby Digital (DD), AC-3, and 5.1 surround sound are all the same. During production, however, it is important to understand that these are not synonymous. Until 5.1 has been encoded using AC-3 â audio is carried by six discrete channels. In both Liquid and Vegas, even after spatial information has been added, the 5.1 soundtrack has not yet been AC-3 encoded.
Liquid forces the AC-3 encode to be done only during the production of a NTSC or PAL DVD. This limitation means that one cannot export HD MPEG-2 with an AC-3 bit-stream. Therefore, no simple path exists to either Blu-ray or HD DVD. (Nevertheless, using a âsharewareâ tool the AC-3 audio can be obtained.) Vegas can, however, output MPEG-2 video and AC-3 audio as separate files. Althow the software to do this is not cheap, it is downloadible and a highly effective tools at 5.1 surround editing.

What are some video editing software for Mac similar to Sony Vegas Pro?
Bob K
I tried Final Cut Pro and Imovie and it wasn't really going swell for me. Also Sony Vegas Pro only works for windows....so.. Is there any programs that are more pro-like similar to Sony Vegas? Thanks, and im looking for a best answer!

Aunsoft Final Mate, a great and useful camcorder assistant software, has everything needed to directly capture/backup AVCHD (*.mts, *.m2ts), AVCHD Lite, AVCCAM, NXCAM, TOD, MOD recordings from Hard Disk Drive/SD Card Camcorders to PC, to import, edit and create spectacular movies on a timeline. It is also powerful enough to play/convert native 1080 60p/50p footages and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.
Powerful timeline-oriented editing features like split/trim video, splice clips, crop, do color correction, deinterlacing, replace audio, adjust volume, etc help you create satisfied film results. Merge/combine avchd (*.mts, *.m2ts), AVCHD Lite, TOD into only one file without any re-encoding or recompression.
Export/convert edited camcorder video to other editors (Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, WMM, Pinnacle Studio, etc), media devices (iPad, iPhone4, droid x, nokia n8, galaxy s, hdtv, projector, etc), or common formats (mov, avi, wmv, mp4, mpg, mpeg-2, etc) with the high quality and least amount of clicks. Ultra extreme performance with support for NVIDIA® CUDATM and Intel while encoding.
