Hello Bob,
Does that also apply to AVI v1.0, which is the AVI format that
DS uses? I had problems in the past when making 24-bit AVIs
myself... Does something escapes me?
Sorry, what I mean to say is that the AVIs that DS makes happen to have
24-bit audio in them... AVIs themselves don't "do" 24bit audio.
As far as I know, the AVI version doesn't matter, because the way it's
actually stored in the AVI is just a generic chunk of data with a "type"
code for the codec that should be used.. in this case it's just tagged
as PCM (uncompressed). Then, there is a "number of bits per sample",
and "number of samples per second" which tells it how the PCM data is
formatted. AVIs are containers, like Quicktimes; The video data and
audio data inside are dependent upon on having a codec to decode them,
but for all practical purposes can be anything. There just is no
built-in codec that understands the 24-bit PCM audio.
I think the main problem with AVI 1.0 would be the max filesize, and
since DS always puts uncompressed audio in you could overrun your
filesize on a longer show at 24/48k.
