Conversion of windows media 5.1 to 6 wav files possible?

andy

Hi folks!

The subject says it all. I've got a windows media 9 file with a 5.1 audio track and i want to convert it for use on a dvd. I've already encoded the video, but i couldn't find a way how to export the 5.1 track to 6 wav files for encoding in Dolby Digital.

I only found some ways how to downmix it to 2 channels. But i want to keep all 6!

Has anyone found a way to do so? Please help me.

Hasn't anyone any idea?
