My understanding is that there are currently no DVD recorders that will accept anything other than two analog channels of audio. But, I also understand that a company (who's name I cannot recall) is promising multichannel audio recording in the future.

My interest is more with your comment about VHS tapes with Dolby Digital on them. How is that done, and what VCR has DD? Is there an optical or coax output, or just six analog outs?

Oh, and to answer your last question, your current DVD recorder will record Dolby ProLogic just fine. Or any other variety of matrixed two channel surround.
