got MAgix Movie Edit Plus 14 with codecs enabled. I read in the help that AVCHD 5.1 Sound cannot be imported ? I dont quite understand, are you saying the millions of camcorders out there cant use Dolby sourround with Movie Edit ?
I can barely believe it. Please prove me wrong.
You can import AVCHD material with 5.1 Dolby Digital sound, but it will always be mixed down to stereo and treated as such in the program. That's still curently a technical limitation in Movie Edit Pro. Probably not a big deal to most users. I mean, who really makes use of the surround sound capabilities in the audio encoding of a consumer-level AVCHD camera when in the end the camera just features some unidirectional microphone anyway? Of course, it would be cool to see this featured in the future.
