I see a lot of complaints all the time on a forum for Asian films because it's very rare to have the original mono soundtracks available on DVD for pre-1990 movies and the fans of such films are not happy about it.Продолжительность: 02:23:22 + 00:45:59 (бонусы)
They caused such an uproar over Ruscico's re-issuing of some classic Andrei Tarkovsky films for only including fake 5.1 soundtracks and not the original mono soundtrack that Ruscico had to redo a bunch of Tarkovsky DVDs and include the original mono soundtrack or people wouldn't buy them. There are a lot of fans of various films or directors who have reacted very angrily when DVDs have come out with only fake 5.1 soundtracks when the original soundtrack was either mono or stereo. That will give you a place to start.įake 5.1 sound is arguably worse than the original 2 channel or mono soundtrack a lot of movies have. Good amplifiers should have a setting that can take 2 channel sound and output a fake surround sound from it and that will probably give you just as good results for a lot less work than trying to convert the 2 channel sound you have into a fake 5.1 surround file before burning the DVD.īeSweet with the right AC3 programs might be able to convert your file into a fake 5.1 file. I'd leave it in 2 channel sound on the DVD. I think there are programs available (do a web search) that can convert one or two channel inputs into fake 5.1 sound, but having fake 5.1 sound won't make it be any better in reality.
Don't re-record it at a higher bit rate as that will only make it sound worse. You could have 5.1 sound with a bit rate of 320, for example.
Bit rate has nothing at all to do with whether your files are in 5.1 sound or not.
