How to create 5.1 sound?

Well, when I'm using the german tutorial here for creating SVCD's from my DVD's. Everything is working just fine, although I don't really know what happens in the background, when I strictly follow the mentioned tutorial, the results are just great. Now I want to make SVCD's with 5.1 audio. Somewhere around here I read that it's necessary to use I-Author as the CD-Image programm and of course set the output mode in the tab 'Audio' to 5.1 So that's what I did. I started the whole thing and when I controlled the progress a few hours later, I noticed that this I-Autor had opened in 120 (!) instances. I didn't know what to do, so I cancelled the whole thing :( What did I do wrong? Is I-Autor to blame?

I think I remember that being a problem with I-Author. If I remember right it's either the wrong version or a badly cracked one. It's been awhile since I saw this so my memory might be failing me. Try and do a search on I-Author and see if you can come up with any posts on it. I would, but I am short of time. Mark

Stray Cat, where did you download it? I looked for it last night and I couldn't find it, not even on Kazaa. Where did you find I-Author?

Try this and have fun :D

Is I-Author the only program then that can do 5.1 Channels?

I-Author is the only program that can do 5.1 audio. EDIT: Apparently I _was_ mistaken, and that link didn't contain warez. I acted on impulse, without looking into it further, my bad. Sorry for the confusion... and let the thread continue! :)

so has anyone tried this encoder that's on the link above?
