not all DVD-A is 5.1 channel- I have factory releases of early Triumph
concert in California that was remastered to DVD, and it has both
stereo 2.0 and 5.1 options

there's a lot of variations of DVD-A, although the most famous and
respected is the 5.1 surround sound version

see it here:

stereo 2.0 can be anywhere from 44khz to 192 khz, and 16-20-24 bit
rate

I'm just wondering what the resolution is for these recordings I made-
I know they are stereo

what's AC-3 ??
