Is the UHD's stereo not original? Downmix?

Confirmed downmix of the included 5.1 which is also boosted.

That sucks. Thanks for the info.

[wongfeihung]

How do we know that the 2.0 is a downmix (of a remix) rather than the 5.1 being a remix of an original 2.0?

Someone who appeared to be associated with Kino implied as much.

I was hoping to get more info but they disappeared.

There's no way to be sure unless there identifiable changes in the remix.

You can downmix the 5.1 to DPL and compare. But sometimes a 5.1 track can be a discrete rendering of the original Stereo 4.0 so the matrixed DPL downmix could still be considered original.

I recall the poster on blurray.com (who seemed to be an unidentified insider of sorts) saying that the Kino titles that previously didn't have 5.1 mixes on BD or DVD took the 2.0 stereo mixes they got from Universal and upmixed them to 5.1... if that makes sense?

I'm paraphrasing a bit, so correct me if I'm wrong.

But that would explain why the 5.1 and 2.0 tracks were basically the same.

Some posters on that forum claimed that the 2.0 mix sounded fine, but that the 5.1 introduced some issues, which could have been a result of Kino's upmixing.

That's interesting. Do you have a link to that user's comments?

I'm currently banned. Again. But I'll see if I can browse as a guest.

Specifically this post:

He posts several times over two pages and then disappears:

The only titles he "confirms" as upmixes from OG tracks are Kindergarten Cop (stereo) and The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 (mono).

I couldn't get an answer to the third or any further titles...
