It's matter of taste-- but I always set my audio to peak at -6dB. But who knows-- maybe your export method you were using, with the analog cable, will work at -2dB. It may just take some practice to get it right.
I lower the master output track in Premiere Pro 2 (through the audio mixer) as the very last step before I export to an mpeg2 file from Premiere Pro 2, for use in encore. Keep in mind--now you're talking about digital to digital, and which case, you may be able to sneak up closer to 0.0dB if you want to. What I was describing his digital to analog transfer. As far as audio format-- AC3 is the preferred format, for its quality and compression. but premiere pro only gives you a few trial uses of it. PCM is uncompressed, and only needs to be used if you want to re-edit the DVD. (Which is a whole 'nuther can of worms I shan't get in to!!!) :) Mpeg audio is a decent alternative, but is only gauranteed to be supported in PAL countries. Although most DVD players in NTSC countries WILL play mpeg audio, it still has the lowest % of compatibility. ----- Original Message ----- From: "vbugarsk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 2:53 AM Subject: Re: [AP] Audio problem when listening on TV set Thanks for the answer. Does it mean that I should keep the limit of - 6dB to be able to play my DVDs on mine as well as other TV sets ? How do you mix volumes if you are using premiere & encore ?
