Preset options for Audio


    The Audio transcode settings contain the following options, depending on the codec chosen:

    Codec

    Specifies the codec the encoder uses to compress the audio:

    Note: NTSC discs must contain either PCM Audio or Dolby Digital; they cannot contain only MPEG audio. This restriction does not apply to PAL discs.

    • Dolby Digital is a high-quality encoding format developed for multi-channel digital sound and the most common encoder for DVD-video.
    • MainConcept MPEG Audio uses MPEG-1Layer II audio in stereo.
    • PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation) Audio is a lossless audio format sampled at 48 kHz in Adobe Encore DVD. Files of this format tend to be large, occupying more disc space than the other encoder formats.

    Bitrate

    Specifies the output bit rate of the audio. This option is only available for Dolby Digital and MainConcept MPEG Audio codecs.
