Netflix asks for a fully filled, long-play, discrete-channel M&E; language-specific material (non-dialogue vocalisations, language-specific walla and chants, on-screen TV/radio dialogue) goes on separate Optional Tracks rather than the M&E body; a mix reference video is needed only when the stems are not aligned to the latest locked or final cut.
