I'm starting with a 6 channel scene rip and following the settings from the wiki I choose "Aften AC3" (I've also tried FFmpeg ac3) and in the config box I use "keep original channels".
I verified the source as 6 channel with MediaInfo.
any ideas on what I might be doing wrong with MeGUI?
I had this problem a while back. I thought it was a bug, but I found out that this is an issue with my audio codec's mixer. You are most likely using FFDShow or AC3Filter, right? The mixer is only outputting 2 of the 6 channels. Turn the mixer off and then reencode. When you first start the encode, you can check and see if MeGUI is being sent 2 or 6 channels by analyzing the Log tab and looking at the Audio section.
