Recording from sky onto DVD
When recording a film in DD onto a DVD will it be in DD when played back on my recorder through my Onkyo av amp?

It will be - providing sky don't have copy protection on it! (Most movies do!)

As this is from a Sky box, he will be recording analogue picture, and analogue stereo sound only - so no DD at all.

I suppose the DD light will light up on the AV amp.

unless his recorder uses Dolby Digital 2.0 for audio
Pro-Logic at best. |

How can it have Dolby DIGITAL from analogue phono leads?.
Pro-Logic at best. Its been many years since DD meant only digital 5.1 soundtracks. Firstly , full DD 5.1 requires an optical lead and there are no recorders with optical inputs for recording 5.1 sound . Dolby Digital can be anything from mono to full 5/6.1 sound. Any recording on the OP dvdr will be Pro-Logic 2x (depending on his amp) but the 5.1 sound will not be recorded although the sound on the dvd will register as DD. |

Like I said, it will be analogue sound only - no way can it claim to be 'dolby digital'.
Audio tracks recorded to dvd's on dvdrs are in Dolby Digital format. The incoming signal might be analogue but the audio track on the dvd isn't. Check the manual of any recorder. If the sound is not DD then what is it? Dolby Digital does not equate to 5.1 sound only |

You obviously do not understand what the interpretation of Dolby Digital is and has been for many years.
![]() Stereo analogue sound is dolby digital?, hardly worthy of the name, and NOT what the OP was asking. |

Check out page 96 under "Dolby Digital" where the manual explains that "Dolby Digital (2 channel) is the default recording mode on the Panasonic dvd recorder." Not Dolby Analogue or anything else you'd care to invent but Dolby Digital (obviously not the digital track available via the Sky optical output) The OP was asking if the DD track would be recorded from Sky. I said it wouldn't record the 5.1 sound (it won't) but the audio on the recorded dvd WILL be Dolby Digital . Thats DD 2 channel . You seem to think that DD only applies to 5.1 sound. Unless we have crossed wires you should be ashamed as a retailer that you don't know the audio format for most home dvd recordings. XP offers a choice to record in PCM format. MPEG audio format is largely unused these days |

Yes the recording on the DVD will be Dolby Digital (2.0) because that's what the DVDR will usually do (it may do PCM for XP), even an analogue recording onto tape would still be Dolby surround though. (I assume the Sky Scart will output DS on the stereo outputs because the matrix encoding would pass straight through but I must say I don't actually know this for certain. If so then the "stereo" only has to be fed to a suitable decoder for 4 channel sound).
I'm pretty sure the OP was asking about DD (5.1) on the Sky info banner rather than DS (dolby surround), it won't record DD. |

The OP was clearly asking about the 5.1 track and its been clarified that the 5.1 sound is not transferable to dvd.
But NG then said that the recording would not be Dolby Digital when it clearly will. NG seems to be in the 90's LD timewarp when DD automatically referred to 5.1 sound only , whereas Dolby Digital has been the sound format for dvd since day one and can refer to anything from mono upwards |

I call a spade a spade, I wouldn't lie to a customer that it's recording a digital sound track, when it's only recording a stereo analogue sound track.
You might like to try and mislead people, but I don't. A Dolby Digital audio track in mono/stereo/pro-logic. It may well be recording from an analogue source but once recorded on the dvd the audio track is digital. |
