Ripping film audio to 5.1

[mrapoc]

I'm guessing if I rip to 5.1, if played on a normal dvd player/any stereo environment, depending on the decoder/dvd player, it should downscale to stereo if not in a 5.1 environment?

if yo do that are you not taking off the other audio channels so that its just 5.1 there?

Well im using ripbot264 and it lets you choose one or the other.

Im guessing most dvd players can downscale from 5.1 to stereo?

Should be fine. I use DVDshrink and it downscales to stereo in a stereo environment, and keeps 5.1 at all other times.
