Issue What types of audio files are supported in DVD Pro HD?

Resolution

DVDit Pro HD supports the following audio file formats:


File format	Filename extension	Notes
AIFF	.aif, .aiff	Requires QuickTime. (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/) Uncompressed files only.
Dolby Digital	.ac3	Multi-channel audio files are supported.
MPEG-1 Layer 2	.mp1, .mp2, .abs, .mpa
MPEG-1 Layer 3	.mp3
WAVE audio	.wav
Windows Media Audio	.wma	Only WMA files that are not copy-protected are supported.

Note: For best results, use 48 kHz, 16-bit audio.

Files can contain a single stream of mono or stereo audio (except Dolby Digital audio, which must be stereo or multi-channel). When you burn a disc, DVDit Pro HD transcodes non-compliant audio to PCM or Dolby Digital, depending on the transcoder settings.

DVDit Pro HD does not need to transcode DVD-compliant audio, which reduces the time it takes to burn discs.
