How to Burning A dvd with 5.1 audio ?

I have had I nightmare with the compressor application trying to burn 5.1 audio and the film together had no luck . I wonder what does a guy do to listen to 5.1 files in his home cinema set up ? I know that I can bounce the 5.1 audio into the film in logic but have can I burn a dvd with the 5.1 audio and film and take it home and listen to what I have done in a none studio environment ?
Would much appreciate some help on this cause frustration is not the word to discribe me going nuts for like 5 hours trying to figure out how that none musical program works .....
Thanks for any feedback ...
