Changing Bit Depth for only select files
« on: July 10, 2012, 02:38:55 pm »

Hi All -

Been trying out J River for a week, moving from Windows Media Center, and it's great and I am certainly going to buy it.

Once minor issue I am noticing with one type of my files.

My WTV recordings from windows media center are being recognized as 32 bit audio, and my sound card doesn't recognize it. Is there a way to downsample these videos WITHOUT having to set the bit depth as a finite number in the output format section of DSP?

My issue is that while I want these videos audio bit depth to be downsampled, I don't want my 44.1/16 bit mp3s to be upsampled to 24-bit (nor my DTS / DD movies as I don't bitstream).

Thanks in advance

Welcome.

You should always pick the highest output bitdepth your audio device supports.

There's an explanation here:

You might want to start from the top and get the best output mode as well:

Thanks Matt -

This makes perfect sense and I should have read it to begin with. Appreciate the links.

Best,
