AC3 Size?

[Indigo]

I've been using Gnot to encode, and I've so far been adding the audio as mp3. I've noticed that there is an option to use the ac3 as it is. Does this mean that the resulting DivX will get a lot larger? And do all players support AC3?

AC3 streams usually use higher bitrates than your average mp3 stream. When you have extracted the AC3 streams with DVD2AVI you will be able to read the bitrate in the filename. You will need to set the correct audio bitrate, in the bitrate tab in GKnot. This way GKont will adjust the video bitrate, to reach the desired filesize.

You will need to install the appropriate decoder, you should be able to find it in one of the codec packs.
