Here's a statement from Terrence in this thread:

'One of the issues with DCPs is there is no Mono option. It's stereo, then additional channels in even increments. So really, you'd go from stereo to 5.1, then 7.1 and so on. If you wanted mono, you'd need to create a 5.1 DCP with
silence tracks on everything but the center. Kind of a pain.'

I'm inclined to just make DVD-o-matic always output 5.1 or 7.1, inserting silence as appropriate.  I have had a report where one particular server (can't remember which) will not even play stereo audio ...

Any objections to that?

Best

Carl
