I've been following the instructions located in the "Ranch" thread to rip and start re-editing The Phantom Menace for my personal enjoyment. I've done editing work in older versions of Premiere before, but I've got a couple of questions.

I've ended up with a .m2v video file - do newer versions of Premiere support this?

I also ripped the AC3 sound mix to play around with. If I break it apart to 6 mono WAV files for editing in SoundForge or something like that, how do I recombine it so that I can add the sound file into Premiere - also do newer versions of Premiere support AC3 files? The older version I have I think only takes .WAV files.

Thanks for any help!
