[Avid-L2] Re: Does multichannel export in QT work on Avid?

I had my failed test on V6. We've since put 6.5.4 on those systems perhaps another try is in order.

As a Self Contained movie not ref export I tried Direct and I ended up with Stereo Tracks when in fact it was VO,Dia,Fx and Music stems. The fact that the newer Direct combined with 5.1 is probably where I'm confused. I've used some stereo tracks in the Avid timeline but haven't played with a 5.1 track, assuming there is such a beast at least I thought there was now.

This seems confusing or at least easily misunderstood. When I hear I can export multiple channels beyond stereo that to me means I can spit out all my discreet tracks to the QT. Sounds like that's not the case and my test would agree. Someone please tell me if I'm still not getting this.
