Shailendra I didnt understand what you meant here
"Also, the audio is clearly mentioned as either Dolby Stereo or Mono. On the Indian discs, without any exception, they are always "Dolby 5.1" which means a monoaural stream from all the 5 speakers as also the sub-woofer"
Can you elaborate. What do you mean by monoaural stream. Isnt 5.1 sound meant for movies. who would want to watch a movie in stereo or Mono. Beats me!!!
Yes, in the new movies you do get 5.1 in both US and Indian prints - though the SQ is farr better in the US versions. When you are talking of old monoaural Hindi movies, in the US prints they are clearly mentioned as Dolby Mono (or at the most Stereo). But in the Indian prints they are claimed to be 5.1 which only belts out the same sound from all the channels. I hope I am making sense now.
