Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 2.0

In mono, stereo or surround?
These feature clips from silent films, correct? Do any clips feature intertitles?

[Matt_Bailey]

The "Learning to Talk" disc includes entirely sound films, that's rather the point. Languages are all over the place in terms of title cards and such, even dialog appears to be in a variety of languages, although by "dialog" I mean "singing" and the point is that the singing is actually happening moreso than what's being sung so I guess we're not supposed to care.

"Nursery Favorites" will be appearing on another compilation shortly.

Then "Learning to Talk" should be labeled as "Multilingual Dolby Digital 2.0", but is it in original mono only? No additional stereo or surround music and effects? And are there subtitles for the foreign language intertitles?
Is "Movies Dream in Color" also multilingual?

The shorts are extras. The main features are in English.

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

But are the English audio tracks in mono, stereo, or surround?

[Matt_Bailey]

No clue.

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Could you have a listen to it and check? Thank you.

[Matt_Bailey]

I can't hear any panning but that doesn't really prove much.

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

If there are no stereo effects, (and since these are comprised of early sound films, it seems like mono would be correct. Thanks.

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Added the set. Thank you.

[Matt_Bailey]

They're DVDs, you appear to have added them as Blu-rays?

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Fixed as DVDs.
