Which software can author BD with a lossless surround track?

[Bluyoda]

Hi everyone,

I am so frustrated with my fruitless search for a software package that can do what I want it to do.

I am a musician and nature photographer, and I have just remixed my CD in surround sound.

I work in Cubase, which is where I make my mixes. For the time being I am mixing in 4.0 Quad surround sound.

Now my question is: Where can I actually create a Blu-ray audio, or Blu-ray in general, as I also make videos and slideshows of my photos with my music, and have the video be MPEG-4/AVC for video and lossless 4.0/5.1 PCM/Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio?

I have the Adobe Master Mastercollection CS5, yet I can't find any lossless audio codecs. Please help me.

Also, I am on a budget.

Forget it on a budget. The plugins for mixing in 5.1/7.1 and 3D immersive are extremely expensive - (upmixers alone chime in at $349.00). Most of the mixing suites are right at $1500! Adobe Audition 3, I believe, let you mix natively in 5.1 surround with a max of 24bit/96khz LPCM.

Adobe Audition sounds good to me then. They are not very clear on the details.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

The problem with Adobe Audition 3 is that its no longer available ! Adobe replaced it with SoundBooth which can't do half of what Adobe Audition 3 could do.

I already have it, so it's no biggie. I have already made my first downmix, but how do I get it on a disc? Do you have any idea?

Not cheap though.

I am sure there are other ways of doing this, others may be able to help you out.
