In Reply to: MANY people use only 2 channels for DVD!!! That is fine. posted by Billiam on December 25, 2001 at 08:46:23:
I think you have things a little confused.DD 2.0 on the DVD software is NOT a requirement.
Most (if not All) DVD players will automatically downconvert DD 5.1, DD 5.0, DD 4.0, and DD 2.0 to a 2 channel L&R stereo format for use with your TV or stereo system.
Again this does not require the studios to provide a DD 2.0 soundtrack on the DVD, you get it automatically every time from the DVD players L&R analog outputs.
