It is possible that my AC3 will not mix with an "official" AC3 as Vegas exports 5.1 AC3 files at 448 instead of the standard 384. I tried to change this but the software wouldn't let me. There are very long ways around this if this is your problem. Or, you can just downmix to a stereo WAV or Layer II file. You'll save the hassle, but lose true surround.
