In Reply to: why won't a blu-ray disc contain stereo only soundtrack? posted by jeromelang on April 5, 2007 at 03:40:19:
I guess they just figure you'll have 5.1. I do 2 channels too, but I just mix down the 5.1 to two. I haven't noticed any phase cancellations when I do so. In fact, I've compared the 5.1 (mixed to 2) Vs. the stereo soundtracks of quite a few DVDs, and I've always prefered the 5.1. On my system, I get better imaging with the 5.1, whereas the stereo sound hovers around the 2 speakers. I also get better extension at the extremes downmixing the 5.1. Its possible, that this is just due to my system (Bel Canto eVo 2i -> ESP Bodhrans + PSB sub). Needless to say, even though I also mix down my HD DVD soundtracks, they are still way better sounding than DVDs, especially the True HD soundtracks.
