DVD Shrink and double 2-channel audio

[Mr. Monte]

I've noticed on some DVD's that DVDShrink will show two 2 channel audio files with the same size. Is it O.k. to just uncheck one of those?

Also, if the disc has AC3 5.1, can I just get rid of the two channel completely and the disc will still play on any DVD player?

TIA :thanks:

hi there,

its perfectly ok to uncheck one of the audio tracks, the other one should work just fine. make sure to check the language though :p

as for the 5.1ch sound, most modern tvs will happily play back these tracks even if u dont have a surround sound speaker setup. so go ahead and just keep the 5.1ch track. it will work fine

Yes, All DVD Player will downmix DD 5.1 to 2-Channel Stereo though the L-R Audio Outputs from the DVD Player

Thanks again

Often, those 2 channel audio tracks will be comments by the director, actors and such. You do what you want with them.

I've noticed on some DVD's that DVDShrink will show two 2 channel audio files with the same size. Why not hear them for yourself? You can right click on DVD Shrink's DVD viewing window and select your audio. If it's not what you want, just uncheck it.
