I used "ffmpeggui" I don't think there are any normnalise or peak limit options with this program. The settings were "bitrate" - 256; format - AC3; Sampling - 48000; and channels - 2. The original audio from my timeline had 3 tracks - each track was panned center (so that when you played the single track the 2 audio meters bounced

In order to make my show fit on a dvd I encoded the audio at 256. I compared the original wave file to the new ac3 file and the original wave file was almost 2x as loud. Is this typical? K

How do I tell if the timeline tc is NDF or DF? My deck preference setting shows"When the deck contains no tape log as 'drop frame.' Does this have any effect on editing? Also - I've posted an audio question under another title... Thanks - K

Yes - using omfi. I deleteed all 9 associated video mixdown files with no problem. Then I redid the process again - still getting discrepancies in length... Timeline is 1;28;13;08. Mixdown video clip in bin shows a duration of 1;28;07;28. That clip loaded in source monitor shows the same duration (1;28;07;28). So I overwrite that clip onto the timeline

I've got so many issues going wrong that I need to start totally from scratch. I've made several mixdowns of my timeline and I want to delete them because they're taking up so much space. In the past, if I highlighted the mixdown clip in the bin and, with the media tool open, told it to find the media relatives, the media tool would highlight

I don't know if this is new or if I just never noticed but there is a length discrepancy between my timeline and my input CCE file. After completing the encoding and making my DVD with DVDLab I noticed a very slight out of sync problem on the final dvd. The whole timeline is 1:28:13:08. After exporting the wave file it (the exported file) shows

I'll try the 1 pass CBR at 6000 when the current encoding is finished. It is set for elementary stream. I agree with the "template" statement. I have several but somehow, in one of my tests, I changed something. Since I'm still using Xpress 3.5 I've stayed with QT 6.52. Somewhere I have a note that there were some compatibility

The first attempt had the average bitrate at 6 - not 8. But I noticed 1 or 2 settings that may have been off. I had exported as a QT Ref using the Avid codec. In CCE I forgot to uncheck the de-interlace box. Could this have made the size so big? I'm re-encodeing with the de-interlace option unchecked. I set the max bitrate to 7 (instead of 8). I

The last job I did was 80 minutes long. Using CCE basic I encoded the video at 2 pass VBR with a min. of 4K & Max of 8 k and average of 6. My other settings remain the same: Mode - DVD; elementary stream; quality setting natural picture - "complex." The resulting m2v file was 2.6 gig. Today I encoded the same type of show (interview with

Can I practice this without showing all my mistakes to the whole forum!? K
