                            I have recently switched from Adobe Encore to DVDA2.   If I have some MPEG2 files already encoded with WAV audio can DVD architect recompress the audio to AC-3 without my splitting the audio and video files first?                                   Also, does using AC-3, by the nature of lowering the bitrate to DVD players, tend to enhance playback performance in home DVD's? - THanks, Marc  |

                            "does using AC-3, by the nature of lowering the bitrate to DVD players, tend to enhance playback performance in home DVD's?"                                 NO , lpcm and ac3 are standards for dvd - as long as total combined bitrate is below max for BURNED dvd's  |
