I know this is probably a stupid question and obvious answer, but I don't want to guess. I'm not that knowledgable on sound & electronics. When saving space for burning a dvd, I want to only choose 5.1 or 2-channel sound when ripping the dvd, not both. (my preference) The TV I'll be playing the burned movie on, only has 2 speakers. So, I wondered if chosing only one or the other sound options, if it'll affect the sound from the movie on my tv. Thanks for any input!

go with the 2-channel, 5.1 audio is intended for t.v.'s that have speaker systems hooked up. i always go with 2-channel and it works just fine.

Unless you have a 5.1 speaker surround sound system, using the 2 channel sound will give you more space for video and it will give you better vidoe quality if it doen't have to shrink it as much because you used 5.1

I would guess that choosing the 5.1 track would still give you a stereo downmix when you watch and listen with a stereo TV, but I've never used the program.
Try one of each with rewritable DVDs and seeing if you can tell a difference.
Good luck.
