[NewMusic] 5.1 dvd

[robi kauker]

i'm doing a 5.1 work - currently finishing up a project of my own noise with 
some visuals under my "Critical Monkey' moniker

i mix/master audio in digital performer - full variant of surround support 
and a couple of different surround panner options

I convert to dolby digital using apack - part of the apple dvd studio 
package which is how i author the whole dvd layout for final product

most interesting thing is the options for compression in the dolby encoder - 
lots of option and they all do something different to the sound

some semi useful info for setting up a mixing environment - though i'm not a 
fan of their speakers

also some useful stuff at dolby but i can't find the link right now

btw - i'm doing dvd-v- the most common format - dvd-a is pracitcally useless 
since so few dvd players will deal with the audio only format - a sad 
reality
