Activity Forums DVD Authoring two videos with the same audio track

  • two videos with the same audio track

    Posted by Patrizia Monzani on April 6, 2011 at 4:34 pm

    hi everybody!

    I’m not a DVD studio Pro expert and I’m trying to link two versions of my film to the same audio
    I need to use one single audio because those 115MB are exactly what make me exceed the 4.7 MB of a normal DVD and I don’t want to use a doble layer.

    can someone help me?
    thanks

    Are you using ac3 audio?

    That’s not that much over so you’ll proably need to re encode one of the pieces

    yes I’m using ac3
    but I haven’t understood what you mean by re encoding one of the pieces…

    Yeah I’d just re-encode at a lower bitrate. You can’t do what you want here…

    Are you doing your MPEG2 and audio encoding in something like Compressor or BitVice? Or are you just dragging QuickTime/etc files into DVDSP and letting it do the encoding?

    If you are letting DVDSP do the encoding, I would suggest doing it manually in something like Compressor so you have more control over how your space is used.

    actually I’m using compressor and I thoguht I had found the best quality-small compression solution and when I tried to do the DVD and saw it was just the 115 MG of the audio … I thought it could be a solution to use only one audio track
    but it seems not, so I’ll try another compression
    thanks

    Yeah it’s the right compression- just lower the bitrate a little bit and you’ll be fine.
