dvd2avi - 48 kHz - 44.1 kHz question

[msfox]

I assume this option in dvd2avi is to make the audio smaller, but what do the sub-menus mean: Low, medium, high, ultrahigh?

Thanks,

Mike

It doesn't make the audio smaller, really, but it's downsampling the audio from the higher sampling rate to the more standard lower one.

The different settings affect how good the quality of the downsampling will be, at the expense of extra time required to perform the operation.

Let me add that even thou the VCD spec calls for 44.1k audio most will play 48k (after all that's the DVD standard) no problem. So you can save a lot of time by not downmixing your audio.

To be safe you might want to do a small test.

Keeping the audio at 48Khz caused significant audio sync problems on the DVD player I use, but of course results will vary. As suggested, do a test first.

I just run into this yesterday night.

If I do not down sample the audio to 44.1 Khz, then I cannot burn the resulting .wav file (from DVD2AVI) as an audio CD using Nero software. It simply rejects the .wav file.

What am I trying to do: rip music track from DVD into .wav, downsample it to 44.1 Khz then burn the .wav as a CD music track. \

To create X/S/VCD, there is no need to down sample the audio track.
