I am using the software "VideoShow Expressions" to make a slideshow movie to burn to DVD. It will consist of mostly still pictures I took and about a 10 second video clip I copied from a DVD movie. The video portion imported fine but no audio. I called tech support and they said the program will not play DolbyDigital audio. Is there a way to make this work without buying a better program?
I just found a program called "VideoStudio 11.5 Plus" on the net that claims to support DolbyDigital audio for slideshows. If I can't use the software I have, is "VideoStudio 11.5 Plus" a good choice, or can you suggest another good choice. I would like to stay under $100.00 if possible.
Correction! My original post said DTS instead of DolbyDigital by mistake.

you can convert the dts audio to a 6 ch. wav if you want. demux it from the video and use something like besweet to convert it.

What aedipuss still applies.
You can demux with DGIndex and then convert the audio to something that Video Expressions will deal with.
If you want a commercial product instead of dealing with the oddities of free stuff the cheapest thing I know that is available as a boxed retail version is Cinematize. All the video editors that support Dolby 5.1 cost more. Cinematize is not a general purpose editor but its good for grabbing video clips or the sound from DVDs. Well according to what it says on the box anyway.
Remembered one that costs less, even less than Video Expressions now. MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 12 handles Dolby 5.1 and has had a price drop because its being replaced by version 14(yet another software company to chicken to call the 13th version 13).
Do a search. You can it pretty cheap. Since I work retail software sales it might be a no-no for me to say where. There are video tutorials for Magix on Youtube.
DGIndex combined with AviSynth can do things no commercial software can. They are worth learning if you have the time and the will. You pay for them with time not money. I have time, I am short on money.
