So having both seems like too much? I played the 5.1 mix on my little 2.0 TV and my giant 5.1 home theater, and seemed to be OK on both. Transformers only came with a 5.1 mix, so I assume that they set it up to be OK with a crappy little 2.0 TV. I'm just going to call it done, and move on.
I'm 99.9% done, and should start sending out a couple discs this weekend.
Thank you to one and all who helped me along the way. It would have taken me months longer, and probably cost me my marriage if I had to go this alone. Cheers!
