4. Encoding Immediately after Packing

Since we chose

“Pack and Encode”

in our example, the Pro Surround Encoder

program starts automatically when the Packer is finished (Figure 3) and runs in a
separate window on the desktop.

1.

Almost all the settings on this page are carried over from the Packer program.

By default,

Use source file directory and Use source file name

are

checked (as in this example), so the Encoder will use the same filename and
directory of the packed (.agm) file.

Otherwise, uncheck these options, type a filename, and navigate to a
directory for the encoded file.

2.

If Encode whole source file is checked, the

time

fields are read-only. If

unchecked, both the

Output start time

and

Output end time

are editable.

Use output start and end times if you want to encode a portion (not all) of the
source file. For example, this is where you would trim the pre-roll and post-roll
of the project.

The Frame rate cannot be edited (it is read-only).
