Sound
Typically the AVI files contain MP3 audio, as this is part of the baseline DivX profile. 128 kbit/s CBR is a standard audio bit rate, however 192 kbit/s offers optimal quality. MP3 offers the widest device compatibility, although it is possible to encode the files with other audio types, such as Dolby AC-3 and AAC.
The "Audio boost" feature is enabled by default in Dr. DivX OSS. It evens out sound levels to a more consistent level across the file length. On poor quality audio tracks, such as sometimes found on older films, this improves apparent audio quality.

Famous quotes containing the word sound:
“It is not only their own need to mother that takes some women by surprise; there is also the shock of discovering the complexity of alternative child-care arrangements that have been made to sound so simple. Those for whom the intended solution is equal parenting have found that some parents are more equal than others.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“The Young Man’s Best Companion, The Farrier’s Sure Guide, The Veterinary Surgeon, Paradise Lost, The Pilgrim’s Progress, Robinson Crusoe, Ash’s Dictionary, and Walkingame’s Arithmetic, constituted his library; and though a limited series, it was one from which he had acquired more sound information by diligent perusal than many a man of opportunities had done from a furlong of laden shelves.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“He seems determined to make a trumpet sound like a tin whistle.”
—Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)
