  AV Remultiplexing Basics

After downsizing and reencoding the video (and possibly decoding the AC3-Stream), the video and audio part of the original material have to be brought back together. This step is also called Multiplexing of Audio and Video (this means bringing audio and video back together).

Dependent on your desires you have two possibilities. But if you already encoded the video you must have already chosen one. For people with Dolby Digital receivers it is useful to conserve the AC3-stream and use a smaller video-bitrate. (AC3 is considerably larger in size than MP3: AC3-bitrate: 384-448 kbit/s ; MP3-bitrate: you may choose but 128-160 kbit/s give good quality ; OGG Vorbis-bitrate: even lower than MP3 ~80 kbit/s). Personally I prefer having the Dolby Digital Sound.

Depending on your choice choose the appropriate section on multiplexing:

[Multiplexing with AC3 Dolby Digital]
Extremely High Quality Sound, but degraded picture quality

[Multiplexing with MP3/OGG Vorbis Encoded Sound]
Good Dolby Surround Sound, with higher picture brilliance and quality
