While using DVD Shrink, should I choose only 5.1 or 2-channel sound for watching the DVD on a 2 spea

I know this is probably a stupid question and obvious answer, but I don%26#39;t want to guess. I%26#39;m not that knowledgable on sound %26 electronics. When saving space for burning a dvd, I want to only choose 5.1 or 2-channel sound when ripping the dvd, not both. (my preference) The TV I%26#39;ll be playing the burned movie on, only has 2 speakers. So, I wondered if chosing only one or the other sound options, if it%26#39;ll affect the sound from the movie on my tv. Thanks for any input!



Answer:

go with the 2-channel, 5.1 audio is intended for t.v.%26#39;s that have speaker systems hooked up. i always go with 2-channel and it works just fine. Unless you have a 5.1 speaker surround sound system, using the 2 channel sound will give you more space for video and it will give you better vidoe quality if it doen%26#39;t have to shrink it as much because you used 5.1 I would guess that choosing the 5.1 track would still give you a stereo downmix when you watch and listen with a stereo TV, but I%26#39;ve never used the program.



Try one of each with rewritable DVDs and seeing if you can tell a difference.



Good luck.
