Trouble capturing video with multi-channel audio -AC-3 Encoder

Subject:Trouble capturing video with multi-channel audio Posted by: GJC Date:4/2/2005 4:15:02 PM Hi, I have recently purchased a Sony DCR-HC90 Camcorder with the ECM-HQP1 4-channel surround sound microphone. Importing to my PC via firewire. I need a software solution that will be able to capture the video while also recognizing the 4-discrete audio channels so that I can ultimately burn this information to a DVD in 5.1 AC-3. I'm aware of the "Click-to-DVD" Vaio software will accomplish this, bit I don't have and won't be purchasing a Vaio. I've tried Roxio VC 7 and Pinnacle Studio 9; neither of which will recognize or encode anything but stereo audio?!?!?!?. This is extremely frustrating, please help. Thanks in advance. Greg
