Is the new region 1 release of Cocoon 1 and 2 5.1 sound. The region 2 version is but only has a a trailer on it. The region 1 features a commentary and a few other bits. Thanx
Let's see now, do I encode the audio as 5.1 and encode the same mono surround track on both the left and right surround channels, or do I encode it as 4.1 which will tell the decoder to route the single encoded surround channel to the left and rights suround channels?
Either way, same effect, the mono surround channel is reproduced by both the left and right surround speakers.
So, the answer is that it really doesn't matter, in fact many older tracks with mono surrounds wind up on DVDs mislabeled '5.1'.
