In the case of a Replace operation, the overlapping identical audio regions would be found one
second from the beginning and end of the shortest encode (Encode 2 in Figure 10-5.1 below).
The regions in Encode 2 (green and yellow selections) must contain bit identical audio to the
same regions in Encode 1. The audio between the overlaps in Encode 2 is the replacement audio.
The shorter encode will always replace the longer encoder.

 The DTS-HD encoded streams used with the Join/Replace operation must contain a
matching Reference Times (which is specified during the encoding process). This will
insure compatible DTS frame alignment between all encodes having the same reference
time, thus maintaining audio to timecode synchronization.
Note: Encoding with a Reference Time can only be performed with DTS-HD Pro Series
Software Encoder version 0.97, DTS-HD Master Audio Suite-DTS Surround Audio Suite
version 1.0 or later.
The illustration in Figure 10-6 depicts an attempted join of two DTS-HD encoded streams with
differing reference times.
