Dolby Digital
The built-in Dolby Digital settings (in the Create Blu-ray and Create
DVD destinations, as well as in the built-in AC-3 and EC-3 audio
settings) use the Dolby Digital transcoding format. This format
encodes Dolby Digital (AC-3) and Dolby Digital Plus (EC-3) audio
files that contain multiple audio channels, including 5.1 surround
sound. You can also create custom settings that use the Dolby
Digital transcoding format.
The properties of built-in and custom settings that use this
transcoding format are located in the General inspector and Audio
inspector. These properties are described below.
Important: When you add a setting (or a destination that includes
settings) to a job, Compressor analyzes the source media and
then automatically assigns the most appropriate setting properties
(based on the setting’s transcoding format and the characteristics
of your source media file). It’s recommended that you use the
automatically assigned setting properties.
