The DCP tracks exercise the subs tho. I thought it sounded great. (BTW, there's some obvious ADR going on, so don't panic if your dialogue sometimes goes out of sync.)  |  IP: Logged Lincoln Spector Film Handler Posts: 46 From: Albany, CA, USA Registered: Mar 2012 posted 04-16-2012 07:22 PM                        quote: Jesse Skeen I've never understood why most mono films on DVD and Blu-Ray have been done with 2-channel Dolby Digital tracks which play through the center if you have Pro-Logic enabled.

After I'd finished getting the info I needed, I asked if he would answer an unrelated question. When he agreed, I asked about that very thing: Why most "mono" tracks are technically 2-track stereo.
