Hi Jan,<br>
<br>
This mail contains a lot of assumptions, I'm not sure here.<br>
I start with something more about the audio options for DVD streams.<br>
The standards are:<br>
<ul>
<li>PCM: 48 kHz or 96 kHz sampling rate, 16 bit or 24 bit L-PCM, 2 to
6 channels, up to 6144 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kbit/s"
title="Kbit/s">kbit/s</a></li>
<li>AC-3: 48 kHz sampling rate, 1 to 5.1 (6) channels, up to 448
kbit/s</li>
<li>DTS: 48 kHz or 96 kHz sampling rate, 2 to 6.1 channels, Half Rate
(768 kbit/s) or Full Rate (1536 kbit/s)</li>
<li>MP2: 48 kHz sampling rate, 1 to 7.1 channels, up to 912 kbit/s</li>
</ul>
Most encoders I have worked with, both on linux and windows, use for
AC3 encoding a bitrate of 384 or (almost the default) 448 kbit/s and
for mp2 (mpeg) mostly 192 kbit/s.<br>
I saw from the exports.profile file (in
/usr/share/apps/kdenlive/profiles) that kdenlive uses AC3 encoding
with "only" 192 kbit/s (which makes my answer not correct in my
previous mail).<br>
You could try some custom option for export/render in kdenlive, or
modify the line in the exports.profile<br>
:HQ:DVD:PAL:::avformat:PAL:vob:format=dvd aspect=4:3 vcodec=mpeg2video
acodec=ac3 video_bit_rate=6500000 video_rc_max_rate=8000000
video_rc_min_rate=0 video_rc_buffer_size=1835008 mux_packet_size=2048
mux_rate=10080000 audio_bit_rate=192000 audio_sample_rate=48000
frame_size=720x576 frame_rate=25 gop_size=15 me_range=63<br>
<br>
You could change the acodec=ac3 into acodec=mp3, leaving the
audio_bit_rate=192000 as it is<br>
or<br>
leave the acodec=ac3 and change the audio bitrate to
audio_bit_rate=448000<br>
<br>
A friend of mine, but also I myself once had dvd-players which had
difficulties playing DVD's with other settings that the defaults, even
though the DVD-standard itself allows them. Obviously the build-in
decoding used to much processing power on these non-standard streams.
Please try the default settings for Kdenlive.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Harry<br>
