What program allows to detect if an audio track on a DVD-Video is 4.1 or 5.0? MediaInfo simply says 5-channel.

Thanks a lot. I was looking from within MPC-BE and MediaInfo over there doesn't show that information.

MediaInfo always show Channel layout.
For AC3 or DTS can be 3 Channel layouts for 5 channels:

Channel(s) : 5 channels
Channel layout : L R C LFE Cb (or 3.1.1, with M$ notation: FL FR FC LFE BC)

Channel(s) : 5 channels
Channel layout : L R C Ls Rs (or 3.2.0, with M$ notation: FL FR FC SL SR)

Channel(s) : 5 channels
Channel layout : L R LFE Ls Rs (or 2.2.1, with M$ notation: FL FR LFE SL SR)
