The subject pretty much says it all. A client has given me a Quicktimde ProResHQ with 8 channels of audio.
I understand how to export the stereo channels (1 and 2) from Premiere but how are channels 3-8 normally handled for proper 5.1 surround authoring in Encore?
Thanks for any advice - I was unable to find specifics when searching previous posts.

You must create the 5.1 outside Encore. Note that from Premiere it requires the optional Surcode.
Encore essentially passes the 5.1 through to the build process; you do not get preview of the 5.1 audio.
