5 ch Audio in Quicktime

Hey guys, so ive been doing all my encoding, and I know that Apple TV dosent really support 5.1 audio yet, but I still have a question.

In MediaFork under the Audio pane I select "English (AC3) (5 ch)" and then do the encode. When its finished, I open the file in Quicktime Pro and go to the Movie Properties window and it only shows 2 channels of audio. Shouldent there be 5?

Thanks,
Dan

What version are you using?

You're choosing which track on the DVD, not how it's outputted. No released builds of HandBrake do 5.1 anyway, except passing-through AC3 to an .avi.

Well that answers my questions! Anyone know if a future release will support 5 ch encoding, that would be a really nice feature if apple tv starts to support it.

Can't recommend enough for you to cast your gaze a few inches above this thread, up in the Land of Stickies™, for an entertaining and heartwarming tale of love and loss, deception and intrigue, hope and despair on this very question.
