5.1 channel, 2channel audio, & loss of quality when ripp

[xsgc]

so when im ripping a dvd(i use a mac), i can keep the 6channel or the 2 channel audio.

what kind of effect is this going to have on my video if i chose the 5.1 over the 2 channel?

does the video quality even have anything to do with the audio?

You're only ripping to the computer right? So, it won't really matter. If you choose to have 5.1 audio, the outcome of the entire thing will be bigger in size than if you choose 2.0 audio. And no, nothing should happen to your video. It's only the encoding process to DVD that will affect video.
