If we can do this from the DVD menu, or if that doesn't specify, from the cover, then I wouldn't look any further using any kind of tool. And that probably goes for the majority of contributors.

And sometimes both the DVD Menu and covers can be wrong. I've encountered many DVD releases that are listed as Dolby 5.1 but actually just 2.0 Stereo, or PCM and it's really Dolby.

lasitter: that first one is Dolby Digital  Surround, the second is Dolby Digital 5.1.

And the third?

I'm currently working on "The Luzhin Defence". The audio menu gives me:

"English (Dolby Surround)" and "English (Dolby Digital)" at the audio menu.

Forget about the menu. If there are three audio tracks in the existing profile, and VLC shows three audio tracks, the menu is obviously incomplete, don't you agree?

From VLC ...

Audio Track 1: Commentary.

Audio Track: 2
Audio Device: Stereo (options: Mono | Stereo | 2 Front, 2 Rear | 5.1 | A/52 over S/PDIF)
Audio Channels: Stereo / 5.1

Audio Track 3
Audio Device: Stereo
Audio Channels: Dolby Surround

How should I complete the audio tracks section of the existing profile, which has three tracks and no mention of surround?

Let's see. Open the DVD in VLC, select each audio track once and then open Tools -> Codec Information. Provide a screen cap of the audio streams (Codec Details tab).

And what's the UPC?

And where's the problem to download a free open source program? You do not even have to install VLC, you just unzip the folder and click on vlc.exe.

Who said there was a problem?  There isn't a problem...other than the fact that the rules do not require any user to download any program in order to contribute.  While you can do more than is required, you can't expect everybody else to do the same.

If you need a whole page full of figures to decide between 5.1 and 2.0, there is something seriously wrong.
Of course, it it says 5.1 on the cover and it is actually mono (or even stereo) we should look into it, but unless the cover and/or menu is clearly far off, you can't expect contributors to go into such detail. 

I am actually surprised that we pay so much attention to sound detail, whereas for the picture we do not even distinguish between monochrome and color...

It's kind of bizarre to me. When I click "surround" on the menu (resulting in top image), I don't see evidence of 3F2R/LFE, which I've seen described as 5.1 surround.

We near the end!

The DVD menu is of no use. It's only text, so forget it.

When I wrote "Open the DVD in VLC, select each audio track once" I meant:

Just play the movie. From Audio -> Audio Track switch to each of the three tracks (VLC will fill in the Channels/Sample rate/Bitrate information after it has touched the track).

Provide a screen cap (with only the audio streams if possible).

About the UPC: The cover says the movie has DD 5.1 and Dolby Surround audio tracks, and a director's commentary.

The current profile and VLC confirm that there are three audio tracks.

Based on your screen cap we already know that at least one of the two 2-channel tracks in the profile has the wrong format: 2-Channel Stereo instead of Dolby Surround. Thus confirming the specification on the cover.

If the DVD menu allows me to select between 5.1 and 2.0, I take that as being the audio tracks, unless there are strong indications to the contrary. But in most cases, I wouldn't look furhter.
