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:
“How little it takes to make us happy! The sound of a bagpipe.—Without music life would be a mistake. The German even imagines God as singing songs.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“In spite of all her faults her name was so holy to him that it had never once passed his lips since her death, except in low whispers to himself,—low whispers made in the perfect, double-guarded seclusion of his own chamber. “Cora, Cora,” he had murmured, so that the sense of the sound and not the sound itself had come to him from his own lips.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“Homer and Shakespeare and Milton and Marvell and Wordsworth are but the rustling of leaves and crackling of twigs in the forest, and there is not yet the sound of any bird. The Muse has never lifted up her voice to sing.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
