File Description | AC-3, a Dolby Digital audio format formerly called Dolby Stereo Digital until 1994, may include up to 6 channels of audio (5.1 surround sound - 5 for channels for normal-range speakers while 1 channel for low-frequency effects.) Different from Dolby's TrueHD, AC3 format is a lossy compression method. But due to the indistinguishable quality, it has now widely used to compress audio of Blu-ray discs, DVD discs, cinema theaters, and game consoles. |
