the Packer. (See step 5 on page 13 for definition.)
Matrix ES into standard surround channels
– (read-only flag) specifies
mixing of Center Surround into Left and Right Surround. This is dependent
on the channel configuration selected when packing, and is only relevant for
ES encodings.
Phase shift
ES channels – Works only with ES source files, where it allows
for phase shifting of Left and Right Surround by ±45° prior to addition of
Center Surround channel.
Note:
DTS strongly recommends Phase shift be set ON during 6.1 ES
encoding for film. For music, you may wish to experiment with both settings.
For more information, see the topic DVD Authoring for DTS on page 28.

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). It simple provides
information for the user about the packed file.
4. Format
and
Bitrate
fields are selectable based on the choice of source file.
For 44.1 kHz and 88.2 kHz source files, only one bit rate (1234800) and
output type (.wav) are possible.
With 48 kHz source files for DVD encoding,
Bit rate
is selectable: 1509750
bits (1.5 Mbps) or 754500 (754 kbps). With 96 kHz files, only 1.5 Mbps bit
rate is possible.
With 48 and 96 kHz source files, Format is also selectable:
■ DTS wave format .wav (Intel byte order, wav header)
■ DTS padded format .dts (raw file, no wave header, Motorola format, and zero
padding to fill frames)
■ DTS compacted format .cpt (Motorola byte order, zero padding is removed,
timecode is removed but a start time is present). This is the output type
needed for the Apple DVD Studio Pro V3.0.
The .wav format is used for music where there is no picture to lock to. Wav is
typically for 5.1 or 6.1 music surround discs. The .cpt and .dts formats are
used in DVD authoring. Please refer to the topic
DVD Authoring for DTS
on
page 28 to determine the correct bitstream to use. Typically, a .cpt file is
used, because the .DTS format is a padded file that is used in older DVD
authoring systems.
