Even so, if you're referring to the SVCD version of the TC then it isn't 5.1 since mpeg-2 technically can not preserve that. And you're comment about WS/FS is not 100% true either, it depends on the original matting. One example of what Terminator800 mentioned was the screener releases for Men In Black 2, TEG's version was FS cropped left/right and TCF's was WS cropped bottom/top. As someone mentioned in another thread a while ago, even movies shown in theatres aren't matted and theatre's have to add the black bars with their equipment depending on the size of their screens. When a studio masters a DVD they make the same decision. Just thought I'd kick some knowledge for ya 
First off, its true its not as good as a dvd-mastered 5.1 track, however thats not what I said, but fact remains that the 5.1 track on the tc.dvdr is far superior to the stereo mp2 of this screener. Of course Im not referring to the svcd.tc when I mentioned 5.1, Im no 'tard. However there is something called mpeg 5.1 or mpeg multichannel audio, its not commonly used but if you thought SVCDs could never have 5.1 tracks, think again, its possible, just not widely supported.
My comment about ws not cropping anything out is not correct for all cases, just most, and its a comment about ws vs fs in general and typically fs is cropped on sides and ws not cropped signicicantly. There are exceptions but they are few and not worth mentioning when discussing this release in particular.
