Batch AC-3 Encoding 277
Batch AC-3 Encoding
In addition to using the AC-3 Encoder Interface, you can encode stereo AC-3 files when
registering PCM and MPEG-1 audio assets. You can even batch encode multiple files.
Note: When batch encoding audio files, the default Dolby Digital parameter settings are
used, which cannot be changed.
To batch encode AC-3 audio files in Scenarist:
1 Drag one or more stereo PCM or MPEG-1 audio files from Windows Explorer to the Data
Editor in Scenarist.
2 When prompted, select AC-3 Audio. If importing multiple files, select the Apply To All
option. Click OK.
The files are transcoded from their original format to AC-3. The new files are written to
the same directory as the original files and named with an .ac3 suffix. The new audio
assets appear in the Data Editor.
