4.Bit Rate and Output type
For 44.1 kHz and 88.2 kHz source files, only one bit rate (1234800) and output type (.wav) are possible.
With 48 kHz source files for DVD encoding, Bit rate is selectable: 1509750 bits (1.5 Mbps) or 754500 (754 kbps).
With 48 kHz source files, Output Type is also selectable:
■DTS wave format .wav (Intel byte order, wav header)
■DTS padded format .dts (raw file, no wave header, Motorola format, and zero padding to fill frames)
■DTS compacted format .cpt (Motorola byte order, zero padding is removed, timecode is removed but a start time is present). This is the output type needed for the Apple DVD Studio Pro V3.0.
Wav format is used for music where there is no picture to lock to. Wav is typically for 5.1 or 6.1 music surround discs. Cpt and DTS formats are used in DVD authoring. Please refer to DVD Authoring for DTS on page 20, to determine the correct bitstream to use. Typically, a .cpt file is used, because the DTS format is a padded file that is used in older DVD authoring systems.
