Specifying audio encoding settings

The Audio tab lets you select the bit rate for mp3 audio encoding.

To specify custom audio encoding settings:

1. Select the file or files whose encoding settings you want to modify.

   To select multiple files in the encoding list, Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh), or select Edit > Select All to select all files in the encoding queue.

2. Click Settings (Edit > Encoding Settings).

   The Flash Video Encoding Settings dialog box appears.

3. Click the Audio tab to display the audio encoding settings.
4. The Encode Audio option is selected by default.

   By default, the audio codec is mp3.

5. Select a data rate from the Data Rate pop-up menu.

   Better quality audio tracks, such as music and significant background noise, require a higher data rate. Simple dialogue, such as a video of a talking-head with relatively little motion, can be compressed to a much higher degree. Higher bit rate settings (encoded at 80 kbps or larger) are encoded in stereo, while lower bit rate settings (encoded at 64 kbps or smaller) are encoded in mono.
