John,

On thing that I find strange about multichannel BWF files is that Pro Tools
does not follow the Microsoft spec for channel order. So if you extract a PT
multichannel (surround) BWF into Wavelab (which does follow the published
spec) for DVD-A authoring, the channels will be in the wrong order. Has
NARAS been able to address this?
