Type 2 vs. Type 1

[clothesburner626]

In the following screen-shot from WinDV (source: Afonic DVD-Guides.com) it shows Type 1 as AVI (iavs) and Type 2 as AVI (vids + auds). Is this standard? Is Type 2 in NeroVisionExpress the same as Type 2 in any other capturing program?

Why would someone use Type 1?

What is (iavs)?

here is the basic def of Type 1 and Type2

Type 1 is used for most efficient transmission.
Type 2 splits off the audio for faster processing during editing.

Type 2 is used by most editing programs.

The article states:

For video capture, where maximum throughput is crucial, it is better to use a type-1 file, because type-2 files carry redundant audio data. (The video stream still has the audio data. The audio is simply hidden by labeling the stream as video.) Also, writing a type-2 file requires some additional processor time to split the interleaved stream.

What is a situation where maximum throughput is crucial? Videowork being done in a big hollywood studio? Videowork intended for professional release?

By the way, thanks for the link.

When your HD can't keep up would be one. High quality DV-AVI and low quality DV-AVI require the same amount of bandwidth, but type1 requires slightly more than type 1 because of the additional audio track.

How should this sentence read:

but type1 requires slightly more than type 1 because of the additional audio track

I can't tell what you're trying to say.

What that doesn't make sense?

Should read:but type2 requires slightly more than type 1 because of the additional audio track

Okay, cool, just wanted to be sure.
