Thanks, Richard. I get it now. What I meant by a one-by-one basis is per video, not per track within a video. I have a bunch of short videos, all imported into Encore. What it looks like I'll have to do is go into each video and drop its master volume. Not horribly difficult usually, but they were all generated in Premiere Pro CS3 and need conversion to CS5.5 and new pointers to source files. Then they need to re-index and re-conform all the files.
I'm just lazy and trying to do it all with one simple tweak in Encore. Or even by tweaking each video in Encore. It would be useful to be able to balance different video's audio within a DVD without going back to each individual audio.
