Help With Audio Issue in DVDSP Please

Hello, everyone. I authored a session in DVDSP that - while in simulate mode - works out quite alright. Everything checks out well visually and audially. However, once I either make an actual physical disk of the session, or create a Build of it, I end up going back through the newly created disk, and I find that - although the audio in the main presentation section of the DVD is at the correct volume (i.e. the actual/main movie file being presented) - the audio in the "Extras" portion of the session (i.e. the commentaries and the deleted scenes) is like 5 to 10 dB lower than it should be!
It's driving me up the wall, because, again, the audio checks out perfectly when I'm IN the program using the simulate mode. It's when I go to make an actual disk of the project that I find later this issue. And it happens also when I go to make a Build of the project.
What on earth is going on?
I hope someone knows and can offer some help.
Thank you much all in advance for the help.

Hey, Hal. Yep. I checked.
Under the Audio tab, I have this:
File Format: Dolby Digital Professional
Extension: ac3
Target System: DVD Video
Audio Coding Mode: 2/0 (L,R)
Enable Low Frequency Effects is diabled
Sample Rate: 48kHz
Data Rate: 192 kbs
Bit Stream Mode: Complete Main
Dialog Normalization: -31
Under the Bitstream Tab, I have the following:
Everything is pretty much greyed out/disabled and the Dolby Surround Mode is at "Not Indicated".
Preprocessing Tab:
Compression Preset: None
And everything else is either greyed out or not selected.
The audio, again, in Simulate mode while in DVDSP sounds find and as I'd like it. When I do a format of the project, however, that's when I discover the differences audially. Might you know why it is then, that my audio is sounding 1) quite a bit louder than the original QT file that I'm compressing from FCP, and 2) why that file is . . . well . . . it seems like it's attenuating at places - i.e. there are moments when there are drop offs in the volume that are not HUGE, but I can perceive them . . . and those moments AREN'T in the original file.
Thanks much for the help,
Javier

  • Help with audio books on CDs please

    Please be gentle, I'm totally new to the ipod phenomenon and itunes etc.
    Just got a new ipod touch and want to put my previously purchased Harry Potter audio cd's on to it to listen to. Trouble is when I do that it classes them as music rather than putting them in the audio book section of the ipod. Now it's not a huge problem but it really is quite irritating. I object to paying the extortionate rate on itunes for something I've already got so don't want to download them again.
    Is there a way of changing the way itunes recognises my cds to class it as an audio book and if so is there a way of combining the 7+ cd's for each book together so that it becomes just 1 book rather than having them as seperate cd's called the same thing? (hope I'm making sense here!)
    If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.

    Take another look. The Aldoblog isn't really complicated. The summary of items to note
    - You can reduce your file size by going to preferences/advanced/import and changing to 32kps (more details in the blog). Not necessary, but will save you lots of space.
    - You want to joint the cd tracks to limit the number of files. Highlight all the tracks, and select join tracks from the advanced menu. You do this each time you import a disk, and end up with one track for each CD.
    - Once you've got all your disks read in, then select the tracks to get info (you can right click). Under options, select "remember playback position". That way when you only have to remember which disk you last played.
    I create a playlist for each audio book.

    Hey everyone...
    ok so, im running vista on my pc and recently i went to foxsoccer.tv and subscribed to their service. prior to subscribing i watched a test video which worked great (audio too). i subscribed and when trying to watch the videos now i get no audio.  fox soccer claims its a problem with adobe however i have the most up to date version, everything is enabled and the only time it doesnt work is when i log in and watch videos.  i even redownloaded the newest version of adobe flash and im still having the same issue.  foxsoccer help keeps sending me over here.  any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks

    Hi Bets32, You didn't disrupt the thread. Sometimes I never know how involved a problem is going to be.
    I'm glad you were able to find the problem. I think we all overlook the obvious at times. I was updating Windows last night, and it wouldn't work, until I realized I had disabled the Windows Update add on in IE, LOL.Thanks for posting back your solution.

    The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet.  Are you still using the same wireless router.  The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace.  For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio.   I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

  • Help with Audio for Premiere Project

    Working on a lengthy project and need some help with audio which is not my specialty!
    I am recording using a Sony EX1r and a wireless lav mic,     OK.  Here is what is happening.
    When I import the clip into project I get Audio from the left speaker.   If I burn a DVD and playback on home player with surround sound, I get audio out of just the left speaker which makes sense.    SO I go to Premier and use "Fill Left" which fixes the audio on my computer and get sound from left and right speakers.    The odd thing is that when I play this version back from DVD on the surround sound system, the audio now only comes from the CENTER speaker.  I dont get anything out of left OR the right speaker so it sounds hollow.
    I am sure I am missing something obvious so please be kind.
    Is there an easy way to get my audio to come out of Left, Center, and Right speakers (and rear for that matter) ???
    Thank you
    Ted

    Bill,
    The DVD player is a Sony BluRay and the receiver is an Onkyo AV receiver HT-R380.    
    My thinking is that it is something that I am doing wrong inside Premiere vs something that the DVD player or receiver is doing.    My final product will need to play on a variety of DVD players so I need to get it right.
    It just seems odd that my default output DVD provides sound to the left speaker but then removes it when I fill Left.
    Am I setting up my audio tracks wrong?  Or should I being doing something with a 5.1 track???
    Thanks
    Ted

  • Is there a phone number I can call to talk to a live person about help with Lightroom issues ?

    Is there a phone number I can call to talk to a live person about help with Lightroom issues ?

    well the reason I wanted to talk to someone live because it would take forever to explain everything on here But anyway, here goes. I have an HP Pavilion Notebook with Intel Core i5-323om CPU @2.60 GHz and 8 gb ram 64bit. I am trying to run Lightroom 5.7 on my laptop and having major issues. I use an external hard drive for the storage of my photos. When I try to use Lightroom I run into many issues: Flickering of the screen, freezing up, slow, the loading circle just goes round and round lol. If I go to the washroom or leave the computer for even a minute it freezes up. I have to keep pressing Ctr/alt/delete to bring it back when it flickers. I have to constantly exit out of the program and restart it to be able to edit even just a couple of photos and then it starts acting up again.
    I have tried un-installing and re-installing, updating everything on my pc, changing compatibility settings, updating development settings, I even took the laptop into have it looked at and they did all kinds of updates etc...and still couldn't figure out why it wasn't working for me. I have gone through the lists of troubleshooting for LR problems and there just seem to be nothing that works.....I have made new catalogues, moved them, tried using the software on my pc without the EHD, etc etc.......I have tried EVERYTHING...I think.....so I was looking for some answers as to why this is happening....

    Help with Adobe.premiere.elements12. Please
    It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer.  How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

    In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
    Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

  • Please help with WSRPi Issue

    Hi Gurus,
    I am using the Application Workspace Portlet extension for JDEV 1013.
    This morning I deployed successfully some JSR-168 Portlets in my WSRP OC4J container and registered the providers successfully with Portal 10.1.4
    Now I am following exactly same steps but I am encountering the following error:
    An error occurred during the call to the WSRP Provider: Java stack trace from root exception:

    Any Ideas for this issue??
    Please Help.
    Thanks

    Hi JO,
    I remember this problem - it used to occur in one of my Portlets. It usually happens when the Portlet is not compiled using the same JDK compiler as the OC4J.
    Does your JDev 10.13 ( the default JDK is JDK 1.5 ) & the OC4J contaier for Portal 10.1.4 have the same JDK version ?

  • Please help with audio problems, thanks!

    Hi, I'm relatively new to DVD studio Pro and so far the manual has been useful but i've run into some sound related problems. I'm a composer/sound designer and this DVD is to be my reel so these are fairly integral issues to its success.
    First, I want to add a sound effect to each of the roll over states, so one sound for the "over" and one sound for the "down" state. Currently i can only add audio as the backing track for each menu.
    Second, whilst most of the items on the dvd are movies that include my music, I also want to have a page purely of audio tracks which play when pressed without changing the page. How can i do this? The only DVD i've seen this done on is "The Thin Red Line" extras, promoting the soundtrack to the film.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum/discussions CC!
    Sorry to have to inform you, but unfortunately layered menus aren't supporterd with audio in DVDSP, and technically what you're attempting is a layered menu-type function - although it just may be possible with scripts, I doubt it.
    Your second request can be done however and there's several ways to go about doing it.
    I like DVD@ccess but others would recommend a method of simply placing the audio files in the built file of the DVD making them accessible to users.
    Another method I could suggest is to make a menu page exactly like the one you want to look the same and have the song you'd like to play as the music track for that duplicated-menu in question - set the target of the link for the song in the menu to go to the menu that has that song as the music track. Repeat that for the number of songs you'd like to have this feature.

  • Tips for Users with Audio Issues in MPEG Files

    I have seen a lot of users expressing issues with getting audio to export correctly in their videos, and I thought I would share what's worked for me.
    Whenever I'm converting MPEG videos, I have found it useful to open the video with an audio editor (I use GoldWave) and export the audio as a WAVE file. I can then open that WAVE file in QuickTime, copy it to the clipboard, and choose the "Add to Movie" option in the player with the video. Once that's done I'm able to export the video along with the audio.
    For DVD's with Dolby Digital audio, I've had success with DVD2AVI. Using that program I can decode the Dolby Digital audio to a WAVE file and use the same method of opening it in QuickTime and choosing the "Add to Movie" option. This has proven invaluable for transferring videos captured with my DVD recorder.
    Basically, my solution has always been to extract the audio as a separate WAVE file and adding it to the video using the "Add to Movie" option.

    I have sensory issues involving bright lights, flashing lights, loud noises, high-pitched noises, proprioception, and some other stuff. I don't have colorblindness.
    I also have a fix to use bigger font sizes to reduce eyestrain. I tried using zoom, but too many websites broke with zoom, it kept reverting, etc. If nosquint does zoom better than the default, nosquint might help with that.
    But... I still have sensory issues involving bright lights, flashing lights, loud noises, high-pitched noises, and a lot of other stuff everywhere and online, and I still need fixes ...and I also need people to stop beating me to the ground, but that's beyond Firefox.
