Hi,
I always wonder how movie-studios convert mono into surround?
If the film was made with only one mono-track, how do they create 5 channels, like in "The Exorcist"?

They have the separate clean elements from the original mix and can place them spatially. The music was certainly originally mixed in stereo. In some cases background ambience will be newly created.
They're not starting with a 35mm mono optical track. -

Thanx!
I have the Bluray and on the theatrical version, the dialogue sounds good. On the "Direcors Cut", it sounds scratchy, especially when somebody talks loud or screams. And when Regan says "Let him f*ck you", its stereo on the theatrical cut and mono on the "Direcors Cut". I wondered about that.
