    I have a Question: I am going to make a Solo Audio DVD with GUIForDVDAuthor. I can put about 5 to 6 CDs into one DVD. I have several WAVE files at 44.1 KHz. I am going to convert all this 44.1 WAVE files to 48 KHz, but i don t know which format to USE. I can choose between AC3, and MP2 Formats, since both formats are supported by the DVD Standards, and by the GUIForDVDAuthor.


    I want to ask what Format do you recommend me to use, the 48 KHz AC3, or the 48 KHz MP2, and the Reasons....Why??? Thanks..

    AC3 has somewhat better compression than MP2. 384Kbps AC3 can handle 5.1 channels, 384Kbps MP2 only 2. AC3 2 channel is typically 192Kbps.
