As far as I know, Ulead does not have a Dolby Surround decoder. That means it cannot decode the surround information from a 2-channel matrix-encoded soundtrack.

You wouldn't really gain anything from that anyway, since your Dolby Surround receiver can decode 2-channel encoded surround. And, leaving it to the receiver means that the viewer/listener can adjust the surround to their taste. (If you want to "pan" the sound manually during certain parts of the program, then converting a stereo track to 5.1 does make sense.)

If Nero will give you a 5.1 channel WAV, you should be able to feed that to Video Studio to make a 5.1 channel Dolby DVD. (But, I have not tried it.) Again, you are not gaining anything, if all you are doing is duplicating what the receiver can do.
