TMPGEnc doesn't Demux NTSC MPEG-2 file

[FulciLives]

Hi Fulcilives,

Thanks for the tip on the bit calculator, anyway, I miss the field in which the user should specify whether the audio is PCM, DD, MPEG or even DTS.

For example, if I say I use 128 kbps audio, it makes a diference on the room left for video if I use DD or MPEG;

If I use DD rather than MPEG, more room will be left for video stream, and the calculator should take that in consideration (?)....

Thanks again for all your help, I'll probably author the DVD tomorrow with the chapters loaded automatically and tel you how it goes

The BITRATE determines the file size. So a 224kbps MP2 file is the same size as a 224kbps AC-3 file etc.

Of course the AC-3 format does compression better than the MP2 format so if you have a high quality sound file to begin with and convert it to 224kbps AC-3 and 224kbps MP2 the file size will be the same but the AC-3 sound file will sound better.

So when you use that bitrate calculator it makes no difference what format your audio is in as long as you got the bitrate correct.

As for LPCM audio the bitrate audio has a setting for 1536kbps which is what LPCM (also often just called PCM) uses.
