That's a lot of it. The AC3 plug-in doesn't work out of the box - you have to register the plug-in online first, so that's not included in the overall price. Same with the MainConcept MPEG-2 encoder.
Ohhhh boy...
Thanks!
"6-channel PCM? Do players do 6-channel PCM? I'm out of my depth, here..."
Not to my knowledge, but considering how much space such a soundtrack would take up - WOOF! In fact, if I remember correctly, when I made a 6-channel PCM soundtrack, my computer wouldn't play it (it was an intermediate step in turning a 2-ch PCM track to a 5.1 soundtrack.)

"Does Vegas do a lot of tricks, like doing the proper phasing when you spread your additions across channels?"
Good question. I'm not sure. I'll get back to you on that one.

Errrr.. I, well, I, uhh was thinking of, um, BluRay, because by the time I finish, we'll all be using that. Yeah... BluRay, that's it, that's the ticket. That's what I was thinking of. Uh huh.
