Hi,
quick question, when it says that an AC3 track is 448kbs or 640kbs, is that with all the channels added up? or is each channel 488/640?
thanks

It's all the channels combined.
You can check easily enough. If you have an ac3 file that's an hour long (as an example) and 448kbps, then...
bitrate * seconds * minutes / 8 = bytes.
bytes / 1000 = MBs
448 * 60 * 60 / 8 / 1000 = 201.6
so you should have a (roughly) 200MB size file, which obviously includes all the channels.Last edited by hello_hello; 21st Sep 2017 at 10:11.

Thanks guys,
does that mean that having a 448kbs 5.1 AC3 is equivalent in SQ to a 149kbps Stereo track (448 / 3)? -
