If you have an mpeg-2 file which has _only_ Dolby 5.1 AC-3 audio on it, can VS9 actually open the audio, given that it only handles AC-3 dual channel stereo?
I have just experimented with a commercial DVD I have which I know has Dolby 5 channel audio. And indeed when I use 'Insert DVD/DVD-VR' and choose one of the chapters, the audio shows up on the Insert panel as being exactly that. But I can import that chapter and it plays back fine. When I click on the properties for that chapter in the VS9 Library pane, however, I am advised that it is 'Dolby Digital Audio, Attributes 48000 Hz, 2/0 (L/R), Bitrate 448 kbps' i.e. dual channel AC-3...
I further confess that I simply don't know whether it is possible to have only 5.1 audio on a file (as I suspect there might be a 'legacy' dual channel version on it as well which is imported at the same time) or whether VS9 can 'read' 5.1 audio but converts it to dual channel for output.
The person who has this problem, by the way, has a file from some unspecified source which will play both video and audio in other players, but not in VS9. The Video Wizard will show it has AC-3 audio, but clicking on Properties within VS9 shows it has no audio... So I was merely surmising it might have only 5.1 Dolby, and then realised I didn't know the answer to the above questions...
