What kind of audio do you use on your captures?

[Chainmax]

Question pretty much says it all. Please explain your choice.

When I capture in lossless video format (recommended) I use standard PCM or a lossless audio codec like FLAC.

Standard PCM. Never thought of changing. I capture with Virtual VCR and it doesnt give me any audio problems.

I meant on the final output. I should have been clearer, sorry about that.

[heideki]

MP3 >192 kbit/s if the final output is an AVI and MP2 <192 kbit/s if it's a DVD. MP3 is suited to lower bitrates and MP2 to higher. Maybe you wanna use AC3 but I don't see any harm using MP2 or MP3, unless it's a 6-channel track.

All my TV captures are in mono so never use more than 128kbit/s cbr mp3 for the soundtracks on avis that I make. I have found it to be adequate. As I have some slight industrial deafness and permanent tinitus I don't think I could ever hear the difference!

I use 128 k/bps cbr mp3 for avi's and 224 k/bps layer2 for dvd encoding

I might be starting to capture within the next few months and I was thinking to use Ogg Vorbis aoTuVb4 at q6 or Nero AAC through BeSweet at ~192kbps (don't know which preset does that) for AVI output. For DVD output, I was thinking something like AC3 at 256kbps (if I ever find a version of SoftEncode for cheap) or just uncompressed PCM wav, as I've been said that MP2 isn't much good even (somethinglike 224kbps MP2 ~112kbps MP3).

i use Ogg in my mkv files and found it to be step up from mp3 (as you would expect) :)
