Dolby Surround SVCDs on Pio 535?

[FastEddie]

I tried ripping a DVD using SmartRipper and DVD2AVI for the frameserving. Knowing that a Dolby surround track should be just a properly encoded Stereo track, I selected "Downmix to Dolby Surround" and encoded the result with TmpgEnc, resulting - I would have thought - in a DS SVCD.
Guess what? On my PC WinDVD correctly recognizes it as Dolby Surround (but I don't have the hardware to listen to it...) but my HT (Pio 535 and Sony STR-DE 5.1 Amplifier) "sees" it as just normal stereo.
Am I doing anything wrong or is it just the way it is, ie stand alone players have problems with DS SVCDs?

Thanks in advance,

There is no real AC3 surround in SVCD.
But there is multi-channel support.

Try converting the Wave-file to Mp2 with TOOLAME.
Then mux it with your video in TMpegEnc.
That should slove it.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try TOOLAME. BTW, I'm not looking for Dolby Digital 5.1, just Dolby Surround...

Will let you know, for now thanks.
