There are no ULEAD products with true digital 5.1 surround.

If your source-audio already has plain-old "analog" matrixed Dolby surround (i.e. a VHS movie), the encoded surround-sound information will be automatically recorded onto the DVD in the left & right stereo channels.... just like an analog recording. And, your audio system will decode it during playback, just like an analog tape.

Pinnacle Liquid Edition ($500) has 5.1 Surround, or there's a $10 plug-in available for Pinnacle Studio ($100).

NeroVision Express 3 ($100 ???) has it too.

Hi,

If you want 5.1 sound, you'll need to edit and mix the sound and output to AC3.

DVDWS2 will "pass through" the audio for the DVD.
