|The number of channels of audio for a file - 2.0 is standard stereo, and it is also the most common. Other valid options include 1.0 for mono, 4.0 for Dolby Surround, 5.1 for Surround, and there are also 6.1 and 7.1, but those are so far very rare. | |The number of channels of audio for a file - 2.0 is standard stereo, and it is also the most common.

If the file is in a matroska video container (mkv), the FPS can change whenever the video needs it, so these files cannot be accurately entered here. For most files the frame-rate will be 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30 or sometimes even 120fps. In Japan and the US, DVDs and TV-shows are mostly encoded/broadcast using 24, 29.97 or 30fps, while in Europe, 25fps is most often used. So depending on the origin of the file, you can make assumptions about its fps. | ||

|When it comes to subtitles, there are two major things to take note of: if it is hardsubbed or if it is softsubbed. If it is softsubbed, there can easily be more than one subtitle-stream, however if it is hardsubbed, it would be much more encumbersome to make more than one subtitle-stream | |When it comes to subtitles, there are two major things to take note of: if it is hardsubbed or if it is softsubbed.
