Dear Jeff, I think things are now clearer. By the way, you said that you export to MPEG2 format from Premiere, although it is not so good, and import MPEG2 to Encore. In Encore you will then have to transcode from MPEG2 to AC3, is that correct ? Why are you using two conversions ? Is it better to export as PCM from Premiere and convert to AC3 in Encore ?
What is the best way to put tracks from audio CD to Premiere ? WAV, MP3, WMA, or some other ? Thanks for the help. --- In [email protected], "Jeff Schell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It's matter of taste-- but I always set my audio to peak at -6dB.
