After upgrading to Media Composer 2.8 from Express a few months ago, I noticed that the provided DVD authoring software, DVDit, did not seem to be compatible with an AC3 audio file.  In my limited experience this audio file seems to be a bit of a standard...any body else having the problem?

thanks

 Hi kevin,

What version of DVDit are you using?  And when did you get it ( with Xpress or MC 2.8)?

I know there is a standalone AC3 encoder but not sure if that affects your workflow.  Get me some version info and when you got it and I can check for you.

BTW we now ship DVD by Sonic with MC systems.

Let me know.

 Hi Marianna

Thanks for looking into this for me.  I am using Media Composer 2.8.1.  When I upgraded from Xpress (back in April) I installed DVDit, it came with MC.  DVDit is 6.0  621B12B (not sure if those last numbers are important).  I suppose it is not a big deal to loose AC3 files, they were smaller than the .wav's I have to use now and that was nice on big projects. 

I do have MC 3 waiting in the wings and I'm just a little skittish about installing it.  I guess I should just suck it up and install it!
