Shrinking Dd5.1
Standard Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC-3) typically runs at a bitrate of . If you have uncompressed or high-bitrate surround tracks (like DTS-HD Master Audio or LPCM), you can "shrink" them significantly by converting them to more efficient formats.
The day of the first large-scale test of ChronoFlex had arrived. The team gathered around a specially designed chamber in the heart of their facility, their excitement and nervousness palpable. The subject chosen for this test was a small, intricately carved wooden statue, a family heirloom Dr. Vex had brought from home.
Years of relentless work, countless setbacks, and unwavering dedication finally began to bear fruit. The team achieved a series of breakthroughs that brought them closer to their goal. However, it was not until they stumbled upon an unusual form of metamaterial, capable of manipulating space-time at a quantum level, that the real progress began. shrinking dd5.1

When shrinking 5.1 to Stereo (Downmixing), phase issues are the primary risk. If the original 5.1 mix contains out-of-phase information between the Center and Surround channels, summing them to stereo can result in frequency cancellation, causing "hollow" or "tinny" sound.
Shrinking DD5.1 is a real, measurable degradation. If you care about surround sound, buy discs or remuxes – don’t trust streaming 5.1.
