How can I burn Dolby Digital 5.1 to DVD?

I would like to build a Home Theater PC with the capability to accept video (S-video or better) and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (optical or coaxial) inputs; edit that data (i.e. eliminate commercials); and then author and burn to a DVD-R or DVD+R for safekeeping. I have DirecTV TiVo's (High Def and Standard Def) with shows containing DD 5.1 audio. I would like to archive these to DVD-R. I know it is unlikely that I can keep the High Def video, but I would like to archive without losing the Dolby audio.

I think this is easy with stereo audio, but the hangup seems to be DD 5.1. I don't know what hardware and software is necessary to do it. Creative Labs Audigy ZS Platinum Pro does have optical and coaxial SPDIF inputs, but their tech support didn't seem to think it would handle DD 5.1. I have heard that the Pinnacle Liquid Edition video editor may be able to edit DD 5.1 audio, but hope there is something less expensive available.

Has anyone been able to successfully get video AND Dolby Digital 5.1 audio to a DVD with a PC?
