Just tried this on Jaws and set the AVI Encoder Audio Codec to "ZJMedia AC3 Encoder" and it kept 6 channel audio.

Re: streaming avi files from pc to 360
Hi all. Got very excited being able to natively stream AVI, but now a bit puzzled. I have a file in avi with AAC 5.1 and seems to be only playing in stereo - I've checked the file in GSpot v2.70a which confirms I have a 5.1 file - any ideas where I may be going wrong? Don't know if the file has been ripped/encoded/etc in any particular format.

User defined, click on the AVI button, open the source file, output format=user defined, click on advanced tab, AVI encoder - XviD MPED-4 Codec (Video) ZJMedia AC3 Codec (Audio) and make sure enable DirectAC3 box ticked.
That worked for me

No I don't get any pop up boxes or anything when I click on the dots.
I haven't tried converting an mkv but one is running now so will let you know the outcome.

ok tested on the 360 - works great!
no problems at all with it
the process is a little bit annoying but at least it works and keeps 5.1 audio
the guide i used can be found here
