In Reply to: YES or NO : Is Stereo mandated ? posted by SnaggS on April 10, 2003 at 17:27:52:
Read the original post, and you will see that the question was not whether a stereo track is mandatory in the DVD-A specs.
The answer provided by Oscar was factually correct and comprehensive enough, I think.The response to your own personal question was in my post: No, it is left to the publisher to decide what version he wants to publish (and perhaps, which version he has the rights to publish). There are mandatory specs and others are optional in the DVD-A specs, as you could see in the post from Minnetonka yeterday. I think there were additional recommendations or guidelines regarding stereo tracks, but I'm not sure.
Since you know there are DVD-A titles available in MCH only and downmix stereo, I wonder why you ask that question.
