Converting to AC-3 Format Using the Instant Encoder
When you first open A.Pack, the Instant Encoder appears. (You can specify what happens when you open A.Pack using the Preferences command in the Edit menu.) You use the Instant Encoder to encode one AC-3 stream at a time. To encode multiple streams, see Kbase Article ???????.
To encode a single AC-3 stream:
- Drag a sound file to an input channel button, or click a button and choose a sound file in the dialog box that appears.
- If you assign a sound file that has more than one channel, choose the channel you want to assign in the Channel pop-up menu and click OK. The name of the file appears on the input channel button.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all input channels are assigned.
- If you want to specify encoding settings, click the expansion triangle in the upper-right corner of the Instant Encoder.
- Click Encode.
- Specify a name and location for the file.
To change the assigned channel of a multiple-channel sound file:
- Hold down the Control key and click the input channel button, then choose a new channel in the pop-up menu.
