Guest Markgway Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Does any DVD release of this Stephen Chow film contain the original Dolby Stereo track (as heard in theatres)? Or are any of the 5.1 remixes based upon this 2.0 track as opposed to conversions of a mono downmix (i.e. 1.0 to 5.1)? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MonkeyFu Posted October 19, 2011 Member Share Posted October 19, 2011 I just came across my Hong Kong DVD (the Deltamac release) and it's got a 2.0 track for both Mandarin and Cantonese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Is that 2.0 stereo or 2.0 mono (I'm assuming the latter)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MonkeyFu Posted October 19, 2011 Member Share Posted October 19, 2011 Is that 2.0 stereo or 2.0 mono (I'm assuming the latter)? Good point. After listening to it a bit, it appears to be 2.0 mono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Kwok Choi Posted October 20, 2011 Member Share Posted October 20, 2011 If the original track was Dolby Stereo where did a mono mix spring from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The mono mix would be a downmix of the stereo track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Markgway Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Did a little digging and the only home version to feature the original stereo track was the HK laserdisc. All DVDs are either upmixed or downmixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
