The best time to fire up MonoCheck is when you have an older movie where your media player says that it's 2-channel stereo, but you wonder if it really is.


Media players are dumb, or maybe I should say they're trusting. They look at the metadata and show what that says. And the metadata is just a bit of information that is put on the disc to give some information about things like audio tracks and subtitles. I don't even think that the metadata distinguishes between 2-channel mono and 2-channel stereo. At least I cannot recall that I have ever seen PowerDVD tell me that a track is 2-channel mono.


So use MonoCheck wisely. If you make a contribution hat changes a stereo track to mono, tell them MonoCheck said so. If it did, of course.
