Specifying Output Quality Level and File Format for
Capture
You can save audio tracks to your hard drive as WAV files or as Windows audio
(WMA) files.
To save audio tracks as WAV files:
The default for audio capture is WAV files and high quality; so if you record with
Audio Capture 2000’s defaults, files are saved with the .WAV extension and with
44-kHz, 16-bit stereo quality.
To change the output audio quality level or file format:
•
Select the Set Output Quality Level drop-down list and click on your selection to
choose a level of output audio quality. With this list you can:
Change to a different quality of WAV audio (such as 44-kHz, 8-bit
monaural).
-or-
Change to WMA format. (Choose WM Audio 128k or WM Audio 64k.)
You can choose from many different levels of audio quality for WAV or WMA file
types. In general, the higher the quality, the greater the time required for capture, and
the greater the file size. As you select different levels of audio quality, note the
change to file size shown under Length in the Track Selection Window.
To allow playback of WMA files using MVP 2000:
At installation, if Windows audio (WMA) was not associated with MVP 2000 for
playback you can still enable it after the installation. To allow playback of WMA
files using MVP 2000:
1. Open MVP 2000 by clicking Plextor icon on the taskbar, then choosing MVP
2000.
2. In the main MVP 2000 window, click the Options button. You see the Plextor
Manager 2000 Settings window with tabs for options.
3. Click the Associations tab. You see the Associations screen.
4. Check the WMA box on to enable the association.
The association takes effect immediately, without rebooting your computer. You can
now play WMA files through MVP 2000. (However, icon associations are available
only after rebooting.)
Selecting Multiple Tracks
To select multiple tracks:
•
Hold down the Control key while clicking on tracks in the Track Selection
Window to select one track at a time; or hold down the Shift key to select several
tracks in a row.
