Hi all, I used DVD Audio Extractor to export a quad DVDA as mono files. These become named "Title 1 - Chapter 1 (ch1)", "...(ch2)", etc. I'm wondering, what speaker positions do the numbers correspond to? Is it 1>Front Left, 2>Front Right, 3>Back Left, 4>Back Right? It's a dumb question, I know, but thanks for any help.
 
I believe it's:

1. Front left
2. Front right
3. Centre
4. Sub
5. Back left
6. Back right

Not a dumb question - it's a good one!
 
I agree with Mike.
The assignment is definitely not "logical".

I would agree the assignment is not what one would select if building from scratch, but from a broadcast and film restoration background, I've seen more 5.1 files in the SMPTE configuration. The configuration made sense for SMPTE, as it allows legacy 2 channel infrastructures to maintain their original stereo channel mapping.
