Video project only exports with mono audio instead of stereo when exporting as AVI-DV

Hi, when I export my video project timeline as AVI-DV (NTSC) the audio is in mono even though I have selected the stereo option (Adobe Premiere Elements 2020). Is there a way to export the audio in stereo ? The source audio track to the video is in stereo. Thanks.

    "Any chance of getting this fixed, Adobe?"

    This is a user to user forum. Decision makers at Adobe are busy doing other things.  Further, Premiere Elements is on an annual release cycle.  Changes won't happen until next Fall.   

     

    In the meantime, consider Steve's suggestion.  Codecs have advance to the point that using an MP4 output workflow using the highest quality settings is likely to provide picture quality indistinguishable from the original.

    Argh, I've been fighting with this for a couple of days, it's a frustrating bug.  Like TimRu, I'm trying to save output for future editing.  I want to retain the AVI-DV properties so I can combine the footage with other clips without processing and then only process the final version once.  Any chance of getting this fixed, Adobe?

    There's little value in 2020 to saving your video as a DV-AVI. How do you plan to use your video? There is likely a better format (MP4?) that does give you stereo.

    Hi Steve, I do export to mpeg2 and mp4 without issue (in stereo) but here I am looking to export the video to AVI-DV for archiving and use for further editing in the future. This is what I have done on past video projects without any issue on earlier revisions of premiere elements. I am not sure why in the 2020 premier elements software it only seems to export in mono and not stereo (even though I have ticked the "stereo" audio option). The original source is from mini DV tape from a few years back and trying to maintain the ~12G / hour file size and quality. Many thanks for any further suggestions or solutions.

    I think you found a bug in the export settings.

    I cannot get it to set to stereo either.
