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:
“my gentle-hearted Charles, to whom
No sound is dissonant which tells of Life.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“As far as I’m concerned, “whom” is a word that was invented to make everyone sound like a butler.”
—Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)
“There was a sound of revelry by night,
And Belgium’s capital had gathered then
Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
