Hello all,

What potential problems might I be running into if the final mix (for 35mm) I deliver to the lab is a simple 2-track, stereo .wav, without any kind of Dolby encoding (be it SR or SR-D) ?

Is there any encoding going on in labs, or any other process I should be aware of as the sound responsible ?

I´m worrying especially about compatibility with different decoding setups or settings across different cinemas. Does Dolby encoding, even the basic SR analogue Lt/Rt, guarantee a more reliable sound quality ?
