5.1 releases?

is there any type of release (hr, 720p) that has audio encoded in 5.1? if so, is there a particular media
player that a lot of people prefer that can handle 5.1?

most hrs and 720p are 5.1(not all shows are aired in 5.1) and the player doesn't
matter u just need ac3

my standalone divx player will decode ac3 even, so you can watch it in surround
sound on your home theater system. that being said, beware the phillips dvps140,
unfortunately i found out that it has a maximum resolution that does not support
the hr and 720p releases ☹️

most standalones will only support up to 720x576 resolution
