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:
“I was not unemployed in my profession by the late John Jacob Astor; a name which, I admit, I love to repeat, for it hath a rounded and orbicular sound to it, and rings like unto bullion.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
““Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. Bribery and corruption are common. Children no longer obey their parents. . . . The end of the world is evidently approaching.” Sound familiar? It is, in fact, the lament of a scribe in one of the earliest inscriptions to be unearthed in Mesopotamia, where Western civilization was born.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Music is a good thing; and after all that soul-butter and hogwash, I never see it freshen up things so, and sound so honest and bully.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
