I have nearly the full collection of 4k/UHD/HDR moves and learned something interesting this AM. For a huge number of titles, the HDR or UHD have 5.1 while the 1080p HD have 7.1 audio. Even more strickenly, I have the actually 4K blu ray for the majority of these movies and that has a 7.1 channel for the UHD/HDR disc as well. Is this a file size issue?? One of the biggest selling points of kscape is uncompressed audio (and video), but most have excellent theaters able to take advantage of 7.1 (if not Atmos). For the Atmos soundtracks this isn’t an issue, but there are a huge number of HDR titles with 5.1 (too many to name but just look) when the HD has 7.1.
Since we are paying top dollar for our license copy in the kscape store for these titles (in many instances more than once in 4K for those who had the discs too), can kscape see if we can get the true 7.1 audio in those instances in which Atmos is not available.
Importantly, I am not talking about things like the Nolan collection which are only 5.1 in all. But those in which the HD (and actual auHD/HDR discs have that audio).
If you need examples for just checking look at damn and rise of planet of the apes (but there is a lot of examples, a lot).
