Include audio: Clear this checkbox if you are not
planning to use the captured audio in your production.
Options: This button gives you access to any setup
options offered by the codec (compression/
decompression software) you have chosen.
Compression: This dropdown shows the codec that
will be used to compress the incoming audio data.
Channels, Sample rate: These settings control audio
quality. “CD quality” is 16-bit stereo, 44.1 kHz.
MPEG capture
This area is visible only when the MPEG preset for
capture from DV has been selected.
The three options on the dropdown list control whether
MPEG encoding is performed during capture, or as a
separate step when capture is complete.
• Use default encoding mode lets Studio decide which
of the other two choices to use given the speed of
your computer.
• Encode in real time means that capture and encoding
occur in one step. This will produce good results
only on a fast enough machine.
• Encode after capturing means that encoding will not
be performed until the capture itself is complete.
This takes longer but is more reliable if you have a
slower CPU.
