Hi guys,

Sorry to be such a bore, I just wanted a fairlt simple question answering. What is the difference between Joint stereo, Dual Channel and stereo under the audio options of DVD2SVCD? I know what Stereo is obviously but what are the other two?

All help greatly appreciated

Cheers

stereo: encodes both channels separately

joint stereo: so called intensity stereo, encodes one channel normal and puts only differences in the second channel. Isn't supported by mp2-specs for surround (mpeg 1 layer 2).
For mp3 this gives better quality but destroys surround information in mp2-streams.

dual channel: one mono language in the left stream and one mono language in the right stream.


For mp2 use stereo if you want to have surround sound and joint stereo if you only need to preserve stereo signals ...

But they dont, VCD's use Stereo. Load in a TMPGEnc VCD template and look at the Audio section. Its stereo.

I said it already above :)

In short:
- you have stereo input: choose joint stereo for vcd and svcd
- you have dolby surround input: choose stereo for vcd and svcd
- you have dolby digital 5.1 input (which has to be downmixed to dolby surround): choose stereo for vcd and svcd
- you have dolby digital 5.1 input and want to preserve all channels (depends on your playing hardware): choose dvd2svcd multichannel or BeSweet multichannel ...
