Hey Everyone,

I recently upgraded to PD20 from PD17.

I make BluRays with Dolby 5.1, which is also the sound embedded in my video clips from a Panasonic camcorder with 5.1.

I have 5.1 sound set as default in PD settings, and I am using 5.1 sound clips. Right-cliking on file properties in PD20 shows that even PD sees the files as Dolby 5.1.

But when I go to create a BluRay disc, the only sound option being displayed is LCPM Stereo - no other option is listed inthe menu. It doesn't matter if I'm choosing MPEG-2 or H.264, neither have any other audio options than LCPM Stereo.

PD17 allowed me to select multiple different sound formats, such as DTS, LCPM, Dolbny 5.1, etc. I really need to use Dolby 5.1, and I'll go back to PD17 if I have to over this. This is a deal-breaker.

Any ideas?

DD 5.1 BluRay support was removed, you'll have to stick with your PD17.

You could let them know your dissatisfaction for such action at File > Rate Us & Provide Suggestions.

Gotta be kidding me.

Ok, what was the last version that supported Dolby 5.1?

For BluRay, PD17.
