    I’m too lazy to comment on all the other stuff, but you can get your bog-standard 2.0 stereo from any encoded track. Strikes me as kind of funny to argument with future vs. past and then stick to 1930s stereo tech for film when it’s become more easy than ever to set up a decent 5.1 system.

      That’s a fair point. Although I’m pretty sure the encoded mixes don’t really solve the dialogue-is-mixed-way-too-low problem.

      You can easily downmix, and I feel most of the time movies dont actually use surround AT ALL. But actively mixing for stereo…

      You know binaural audio is just stereo. This could be the default audio quality!
