Encoding

    When the six input files and the output (Destination) file have been selected, you are now ready to encode.

    Just click on the "Encode" button (see Figure 8-9).

    A progress meter will tell you when the process has completed.

    You can cancel the encoding process at any time by clicking on the "Stop" button.

    It is not necessary to encode the entire input surround master. For instance, you may want to trim a few seconds of silence off the beginning. You can use the "Start" and "End" windows to trim the soundfile before encoding (see See Using the transport to trim an encoded file.).
