| Codec - Choose the audio compressor here. The availability of the other settings depends on the audio compressor.
|
|
|
| Sample rate - This setting determines how many samples are taken per second to represent the original audio. For CD quality, use 44.1khz. For DVD quality
|
| (sometimes called "Better than CD quality"), use 48khz. However, 22.05khz is normally enough for casual recording. Higher sample rate means higher quality and bigger file.
|
|
|
| Resolution - Use 16 bits for finer details. Only use 8 bits if space is an important concern. Higher resolution means better quality and bigger file.
|
|
|
| Stereo/Mono - Stereo audio will take twice the space as the mono one.
|
|
|
| Bitrate - For uncompressed audio, the bitrate is calculated given the sample rate, resolution, and number of channels (stereo or mono). For
|
| compressed audio, you may be given a list of choices. Choose higher bitrate for better quality. Choose lower bitrate to conserve space.
