When I did the Star Wars Trilogy I used Womble with PCM audio. I used the 2 audio track spaces and did crossfades between them every time I had to correct for missing frames in the PAL film.

My next project is going to be a full and seriously ambitious fan edit. The original film I'm working with has a lot of orchestrals that span scene changes. If I re-edit things aren't going to mesh. Crossfades seem like they'll be a necessity. I don't want to do it if I can't keep the audio in 5.1, but to use Vegas sounds like days (weeks?) more work than the quick on the fly freedom that Womble gives. It's a shame Womble can't recode 5.1 like it does everything else...

Or does it. I just saw that they have Mpeg Video Wizard DVD that supports AC3. Anyone have a chance to play with it? Is it full 5.1 or just 2.0?
