In new TMPGenc it shows that I can store more video to one DVD-R if audio is in MP2 format. Can I choose in TMPGenc which format to encode to, or should the audio be in right format when I start encoding?
Is there any big difference between the two formats?
How can I calculate that the files will fir onto one DVD-R?
Thank you!!

Audio PCM: 48000*2*16 = 1.5Mbps
MP2 Audio: 224Kbps (typical)
You'll save about 1.2Mbps per second using MP2 vs LPCM, which is about 150KB/s, or 9MB/minute, or 540MB/hour.
Hope this answers your question. -
Just to let you know, I have had many problems with MP2 audio for DVDs. They usually skip containtly. I have never had a problem with PCM audio ever.

Thanks for help!
I couldn't find any switch in TMPGenc to choose which format to use. Should I encode the audio somewehere else first?
Is there any big quality difference between the two formats? -
PCM is always better quality than MPEG Audio since it is uncompressed.
In practice, you will not hear a difference with bitrates higher than 200kbps -
OK. Where can I choose which format to use?
I'm mainly moving my VHS collection to DVDs and would like to save some space. So the quality is already lower --> VHS.
