In Vegas4, can you combine multi-channel projects? -AC-3 Encoder

Subject:In Vegas4, can you combine multi-channel projects? Posted by: fwtep Date:5/2/2003 12:52:21 AM I have a short project with several audio tracks, some of which have animated surround placements and I want to take that project and put into another project. With normal stereo I can just render the short project out as a DV AVI, which of course allows for stereo, but what can I do with 5.1? IS there something I can do? Naturally I'd rather not have to render each channel out as a separate wave file but I suspect that's what I'll have to do. Vegas doesn't seem to be able to load *.ac3 files. It would be great to have just one audio track (like with stereo) where all the channels are present. Thanks to anyone for any help on this.
