Anybody have any experience using Vegas's faux Lt/Rt downmix option, and hearing it decoded? As I understand it, it's not truly matrixed but does a decent simulation so that the LoRo when fed through a PL or PL2 decoder, will hold up reasonably well. I'm finishing up a 5.1 mix that is already well past what the client paid for and am in no mood to fork over any money for a legitimate encoder (at this time), but since this film is likely to end up at festivals I'd like to know that the stereo mix won't go completely wonky on me.
We had a similar discussion about this a few years ago and NewHope had had some success, but I'm wondering if there are any new experiences, good or bad. Thanks for any help.
