DVD authoring package that supports ac3

[Scarabus]

Speedripper usually gives you a .AC3 audio image which you can then convert to .WAV

But if you do that don't you lose the 5.1 channel audio and at the same time the .WAV is larger so you lose space on the DVD.

So what packages support 5.1 AC3 importing?

You can use DVD WISE,SpruceUP,ReelDVD,ScenaristNT
