It's just that the grand majority of multichannel material is on DVD-A and SACD, and it is not only illegal to rip this material, it is illegal to even -talk- about ripping this material as Pat mentioned. This is the first time I've heard of B-format. I wasn't referring to that, in fact I've never heard of it, and if there's a player out there that can play it, great. But the grand majority is DVD-A and SACD. Don't get me wrong, I do like multichannel audio. Yes, if done right it "cements" the soundstage that stereo aficionados seek. However it has been problematic to implement - the fact that it's been around since 1934 yet still isn't popular outside of movies is telling. Has it ever been done right? Is it simply too complicated? Oh and also - since I'm in Canada I'm not subject to the DMCA - yet the MPAA and the RIAA are desperately trying to exert their influence here in order to get the politicians in their pockets and the laws changed ASAP, threatening to do things like delay movie releases if they don't get their way.
