Im trying to cut out as much as possible for a movie in shrink, do you need to keep the AC3 5.1 Channel English Audio or the 2 AC3 2 Channel Audio?

Yeah, 1 of the AC3 2 audio is directors comments and the other is just normal.
So should I just untick AC3 5.1? -
yep

If DVD players can downconvert 5.1 to stereo, then why do the authouring houses even bother loading the extra stereo stream into the .VOB?? It just takes up more space.
Am i missing something? -
I am guessing that for older systems, there is no down conversion. And from my experience, you get more clarity from the center channel of a non-digital Dolby Surround receiver (prior to 5.1) when you choose the 2.0 versus the 5.1.

Virually all recent movies are encoded with 5.1 and DTS for best listening experience. Keep 5.1 this is what it's for. Your receiver can then play it as 5.1, 2.0 or plain stereo (whatever you choose). If instead you choose 2.0 you cannot "upgrade" it later to 5.1 (during playback).

you can convert 2ch ac3 to 5.1 ch ac3. there is software that can do this but it won't be true 5.1 suround....

The stereo 2.0 stream sound much better and clear than a 5.1 downmixed to stereo.

But seems like it's safe to dump the 5.1, especially for those of us who don't quite need the 5.1.. -
