Exactly this, make the standard mix in stereo as well. I don't know anybody with a surround sound set up. Yet here we are trying to hear a 5.1 mix over two channels.

+1 3D films at home are for at most two people sitting immediately in front of the screen no more than 7' away and at the right height. I can get 5.1 'surround' sound in the shed but then streamers won't give me 4k or UHD or HDR for reasons. Rant...rant

Yes! But my Blu-ray player outputs everything in stereo, has the resolution it says on the box and no bugger is turning down the quality when it gets a bit busy. I am a physical media bore and fiercely proud of it.

I grant you that. I have the media, well the VHS went a few years ago, but there is the laziness of modern life. Still, I can't stream Alphaville, but I have the DVD. I should probably rip it.
