Thank you, I'm not sure if I am using the calculator properly, but it nevertheless may have pinpointed the problem. In certain segments of program, the audio volume was too low. Using the red ribbons to increase the volume was not sufficient (raising it to an indicated 200% barely increased the volume at all - more like a 5% increase, not a 100% increase. Someone had suggested that a possible solution was to duplicate those soft portions of the audio track, so that in such places I have as many as 7 identical tracks of the same audio. I was skeptical, but I tried it, and it actually worked. However, the calculator shows that even using 3 or four audio streams severely cuts down on the allowable bitrate, (Using seven streams apparently cut the allowable bitrate down to below zero).
So, is there some OTHER workable method available in Premiere 6.5 to raise the level of low audio besides multiplying the streams or manipulating the red ribbons?

The "usable output" is going to come from the encoder & not DVDit! I use Porcoder Express, but used the Main Concepts encoder that comes bundled with 6.5 for quite some time. Try the bitrate calculator & see if that helps. > > Lee > > > dr_dave_doleshal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From the responses I've received previously, I gather there is no > real way to get decent quality video burned onto a DVD using the > associated DVDit! software, at least not with a timeline of an hour in > length.
