Is a 44.1 KHz audio capture OK for a compliant DVD?

If you can only capture audio at 44,100 Hz, do you have to convert it to 48,000 Hz later to make a fully compliant DVD which would be using AC3 audio?

Not according to: (the guide ^up and <<over there)

Audio:
48000 Hz
32 - 1536 kbps
Up to 8 audio tracks containing Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM(uncompressed audio), MPEG-1 Layer2. One audio track must have MPEG-1, DD or PCM Audio.

It has to be 48KHz, what are you using to capture?

[c627627]

I thought so, so here's how I ended up with 48 KHz: It's a single channel audio source from VCR which (instead of using a Y splitter), I captured through L (white) uncompressed, then opened in Sound Forge 10, then Process > Channel Converter and it converted it to 2 channel and then to ac3 at 48 KHz.

Short Story: Dscaler is the *only* software that is capable of displaying the picture in color but it only captures Audio at 44 100 Hz no matter what other setting is changed.

You're using an integrated audio card, aren't you?

Dude....
Seriously.....
6 years hear and


And if you live in Kansas, i am assuming the Kansas in the U.S., why does that screen cap show you capturing in PAL resolution ?

lordsmurf that's a negative, Voyetra Turtle Beach Santa Cruz PCI sound card. It's very good.

Noahtuck, I am capturing video from a European VHS tape from RCA out into my Kansas TV Wonder Pro PCI video capture card.


My question was about Audio in this thread, I understand it has to be at 48 KHz but DScaler doesn't give me that option. Problem is solved since I needed to convert single channel into 2 channel anyway and when doing so I converted it from 44.1 to 48 KHz also.

Looks to be a Dscaler issue. If dscaler works, VirtualDub should too.

When you have rendered with Vegas as DVD, the software have already made all necessary corrections including resampling audio from 44.1 to 48 KHz.
