Hi. My company is called Neyrinck and we make software plug-ins for Pro Tools. We make some surround audio plug-ins and so hopefully that makes me knowledgeable enough to answer surround related questions. I know quite a bit about surround encoding in particular. There are many different surround encoding technologies that have been developed over the years and it is getting even more complicated now with high definition DVD so there is plenty to discuss. I also look forward to learning new things on the forum.

Thanks for having me!

Welcome aboard Paul, good to have you here!

Do you have a site?

Just wanted to say that your Mix51 works flawlessly with PTLE, and I am one happy camper.
Thank you for making LE a viable 5.1 workhorse. I'm mixing daily TV with it, no issues.

Hi I have just got hold of your Dolby Digital sound code. I'm having problems getting the ac3 file to playback correctly once committed to DVD.

When I encode and import within Pro Tools (7.3) the file shows and playback my surround mix accurately. When I use the ac3 file to create a DVD the Left and Right surround come from my Left and right speakers.

What am I doing wrong? and if possible is there a template of settings I can start with to ensure that my ac3 encoding setting are correct?

thanks
