Audio Encoding when making Xvid

[IceManTX]

When encoding my xvid I use VDubMod with Avisynth for the video. When doing the audio I haven't been using avisynth but usually just add the .ac3 stream (from dgindex) during the second pass in VDub. Then I select LAMEMP3 and my bitrate.

Is this a proper way to do this for good audio quality or should I be using BeSweet seperately to encode to MP3 then muxing that stream? Does it matter?

:thanks:

The mp3 encoder is the same, but with BeLight-BeSweet or BeHappy-AviSynth you have more options:
- Apply or not Dynamic Range Compression
- Downmix 5.1 to Dolby ProLogic or stereo
- Maximize/Normalize
- ...

Oh, OK. I see.

Thanks!
