handle both formats properly. The default is MP2, and should work just fine
in most all cases. If you ever create a disc that doesn’t seem to have audio
on one DVD player or another, you can try creating a disc with the PCM
option found here. Otherwise, you shouldn’t need to change it.

The audio format determines what kind of audio encoding will be used for
the audio stream that accompanies the video. PCM is a larger size and an
older format, so it should only be used if MP2 doesn’t work.

DVD Output Options gives you a couple of options to optimize the video
that ProShow creates. The first of these is Anti-Flicker.
If you view a video on a TV without anti-flicker enabled, you may notice that
some edges of your images appear to shimmer. DVD requires a video
encoding scheme called "interlacing", which uses alternating sets of odd
and even horizontal lines. When there is a lot of contrast difference
between pixels vertically this shimmering effect can be seen. It’s also called
"combing" because it can look like the edge of a comb when interlaced
displays show things moving horizontally. Enabling Anti-Flicker will fix this
problem, but can result in a slight softening of your images. You can
choose which you prefer based on the results.
