Need a little understanding, if you can. I never had a AC3 (Dolby) encode on
my Trial TMPGEnc DVD Author v1.6 program (ac3 is not available with trial
version). My Hauppauge pvr150 card has a hardware encoder onboard and
captures from dishnet 301 reciever.
pvr150 capture is:
Video- Mpeg2, video 720x480, 29.97fps, VBR (constant quality) Max 4400kbps
Audio- Mpeg1, audio layer II, 4800Hz Stereo, 384kbps
I authored my MPEG2 captured movies to VOB files (with TMPGEnc DVD Author
1.6 trial) and then wrote them to a DVD using NERO 6.6. My stereo (onkyo 570
5.1) played the DVD as PCM , not as Dolby. Sounded good, (front rear and
sub). Now with the AC3 plugin for TMPGEnc DVD Author (v1.6 retail version)
my DVD's play as Dolby Stereo in windows media player v10.0 and on the OnKyo
stereo system (5.1).
My problem is, I really dont hear any significant difference between pcm or
dolby. Is there any???.
