sorry away from it now - but I thought that you had to insert 5.1. or something into PT conventionally named files.

as well as an "e" on the "boom" track :)

Can it be assumed that this functionality is broken in DP 7.24? When importing 5.1 non-interleaved stems (that were likely created in PT at a film mix) it creates a quad region and two stereo regions, which all contain some configuration of the .L, .R, .Ls, and .Rs files, totally ignoring the .LFE, and .C stems, at least according to the sound file window. It seems that the only way for DP to recognize that they are part of a group is for the stems to be interleaved. Then they import correctly. I guess folks are generally not importing non-interleaved surround stems into DP, and using software like pro tools to do so because there seems to be very little on the subject considering it looks to be a pretty major design flaw. MOTU et al, Please correct me if I've missed something!

thanks-

can you show a screen shot of your file names?

even better use a movie recording? so we can see your process.

upload to freeaccount at photobucket for example..

i have had weirdness in the past - but all were solvable :)
