HD DVDs > Dolby Digital Plus or Stereo?

I noticed that every audio on HD DVD is called DD+. As DVDP doesn't support all the new audio tracks, how should we contribute tracks as DD+ 2.0. e.g. commentaries?

DD+ is shows as Surround (the icon says 7.1 to be correct) in DVDP only, wouldn't it be correct to contribute them as DD Stereo?

I uploaded two contributions, the US HD DVDs of Miami Vice and Lucky # Slevin, tell me what you think about it.

Plain DD is a different codec to DD+. Labelling these tracks DD+ in profiler is vague but correct, whereas labelling them as DD stereo is half wrong. Its just a limitation of the program; nowadays since Ken is actually active it's more useful to convince him to allow more specification rather than the userbase having to come up with compromises and workarounds.

Unfortunately, we have to enter all tracks as DD+ until this is implemented in the program (same thing for DTS HD). When I don't forget, I usually state the correct number of audio channels in my contribution notes so I don't have to go back and re-check all the discs later when that happens...
