In a previous post I covered new, improved DVD Video authroing integration in Kino. Well, seems most people want to encode the audio as AC-3 for better compatibilty with players. However, MPEG-1 layer 2 (mp2) was the only option in that interface. In the coming 0.9.1, it will be possible to encode as AC-3 using ffmpeg if you have ffmpeg with AC-3 encoding enabled in your build (most builds do). You simply enter "ffmpeg" in the Audio Encoding field under Advanced Options instead of the default "mp2enc -v 0". Also, now, these customizations are remembered between Kino sessions to make it more convenient. The default bitrate is 192 kb/s, but you can override that by specifying "ffmpeg -ab 448" or similar. |
