A.Pack is the Dolby Digital Encoder that ships with DVDSP Versions 1, 2, and 3. A classic software application ...

Dolby digital (AC-3) files sound great, they save space on the final disc, and they are a Mandatory audio formate for DVD-Video ... include Dolby Digital files on your DVD!

For years, Martin Sitter's DVD Studio Pro: Visual QuickPro Guide (Peachpit Press) contained the definitive - and only - description of how to create Dolby Digital AC-3 files. Now you can watch along as Martin shows you the way, through video and sound.

You'll learn how to choose bit rates, dynamic range compression, and dialog normalization to create perfect AC-3 files, every time.

Additionally, this program covers choosing the correct volume levels for DVD-Videos, and also shows why correctly encoded DVDs always play at a lower volume than broadcast television.
