Well there are 5.1 streams as in what is sitting on most of your DVD's. That is an integrated and compressed 5.1 as opposed to 6 separate feeds.

AC3 is still discreet though as each channel is separate.

How is AC3 discreet [sic]? (usually spelt "discrete")

Because each channel within the AC3 file is separate and as opposed to matrixed Dolby Surround.

AC3 is just a codec. Just like DTS. Once it goes through a decoder, it sends the proper channels to the proper speakers.
If you were to listen to the AC3 encoded file, you wouldn't like what you heard. |

A matrixed file never unfolds to 5.1 Delivering discrete 5.1 means delivering 6 separate audio files. Not an AC3, not a DTS, not a Dolby E file.

Just a 5.1, LTRT ect. If they want anything else, Dolby E, AC3 (unless its an MO), that's out of my hands. I've never had to deliver those. Quote:
