[NewMusic] speaker setup for surround

[Cypod]

Does anyone make Dolby Digital 5.1 DVD's ? If so what software are you
using to mix/master it?  I already have a 6 channel audio interface
and a home stereo system that can do surround.

I have been increasing my library of surround DVD's, most recently
BT's "Binary Universe". I have also been downloading demos to concider
software packages, Deck by bias Bias, Vegas by Sony.  Has anyone tryed
Adobe Audition for surround, I like their other products. Can you do
surround stuff in Final Cut?

Ideally I'd probably get Nuendo but it is too expensive. For the quick
and dirty, I could make six equally lengthed tracks and then use disk
welder to combine them into ac3, but that seems a little too much like
guessing. And I want to play around with mixing and spacializing the
sounds.
