AC3 6ch or AC3 2ch ? - Club CDFreaks

Freaking · 01-02-2003

I am using DVD2One 1.0.0 Full version to process a movie.
On the 3rd step, it asks me to select the audio
track that I want to include on the finish DVD.
These were my choices:

AC3 6ch English
DTS 6ch English
AC3 2ch English
AC3 2ch English Directors Comment

Anyone know which option will give me the best
audio once burned to DVD-R?

Or better yet, What the heck is the difference
between these choices?

Been searching all over the web with no definite
answers.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Freaking

AC3 6 ch and DTS 6 ch are your best quality choices as long as your audio system supports them. If not you have to use AC3 2 ch.

I prefer the DTS quality but keep in mind if you test on your PC and use Power DVD it won't play DTS sound. Hope that helps.

go for DTS as said before
(only if you have compatible hardware)

it uses higher bitrates for sound then normal ac3

if you are not sure..then use ac3 6 channel
