About audio channels
Most of the audio settings in Compressor provide mono and stereo (left and right) channel
configuration; some provide additional channel output options, including surround (5.1) channel
configuration. Several of Compressor’s settings offer multiple audio channel configurations:
•
QuickTime Movie settings: QuickTime Movie settings include additional audio channel layouts,
including 3.0, 4.0, and 5.1.
•
Dolby Digital audio settings: Dolby Digital (AC-3) settings include even more audio channel
layouts, including 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, and 5.1.
