no such this as "just know...

there are 2 settings to keep in mind.. the first is the projet properties LFE set up... this is the master config for teh freq cutoff for the LFE channel, so irrespective of what u do on the timeline, that filter is ALWAYS running...

secondly, the LFE channel must be created and allocated from within the VEgas timeline, (Ie duplicate track once the mix is done then allocate THAT new track to LFE......
UNLESS your using DVDARchitect, which unlike Vegas, doesnt give you any ac3 rendering options and will just throw the stereo/mono track across 6 channels...

"secondly, the LFE channel must be created and allocated from within the VEgas timeline, (Ie duplicate track once the mix is done then allocate THAT new track to LFE"

This is where I'm confused: I have the project setings, for audio, on 5.1 s.s., w/LFE filter enabled. I render an video file (HDV Cineform 1440x1080i, w/enabled channel mapping checked, "surround master, 6 chs" checked, and the audio is also set to PCM, 48k, 16b, channels = 6.

My audio, for test purposes, has distinct sounds, on distinct channels. i.e., 1st audio track = far front left, 2d trk = far front right, 3rd track = far rear left, 4th trk = far rear right, 5th trk = far center front, and the LFE trk.

I render the HDV file, pull it back into the Vegas timeline, and I see the separate mono tracks, but they're just mono audio tracks. No LFE track represented. the panning is gone.

I wanna create an HDV file w/5.1 s.s., so that when it transfers it to an HDCAM cassette, I have the audio mix exactly the way I had it originally in the Vegas timeline.

I apologize for the wordiness. Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.

I HAVE to have DVDA to do this? Can DVDA be purchased separately from Vegas?
