  AC-3 Files Render At Half Volume?

  Posted by Ken Bennett on June 1, 2012 at 8:42 pm

  In my V11 project my audio levels are set to the right volume. When I render them out as AC-3 (Dolby Digital AC-3 Pro – Stereo DVD) and place in DVDA, they are half the volume and I have to turn the volume way up on the TV to get a decent audio level for DVD playback.

  Why does this happen?

  Thanks.

  Encode set to AC3;
  Click on Custom tab;
  On the first tab, set Dialog Norm at -31 (this sets it at unity gain);
  On the last tab marked Preprocessing, set the Line Mode Profile and RF Mode Profile mode to “none”;
  DC High Pass Filter On (this operates at <=3Hz and takes DC bias out of the mix);
  Bandwidth Low Pass Filter On (this takes aliasing noise at >20kHz out of the encode).
  Save this as a preset.

  I will give that a try.

  Now back to why my markers come into DVDA off from a few seconds to several minutes.
