  • Final DVD/Blu Ray audio output is distorted

    Posted by Larry Kru on February 24, 2014 at 12:09 am

    I am using Adobe Premiere CS5.5. I’ve created a family video that uses mostly songs combined with some audio from the video clips themselves. If I export the video to H.264 and upload it to Youtube it sounds great. When exporting to mpeg-2 DVD or H.264 Blu Ray and using PCM as the audio setting the sound will play back distorted on the TV. This happens both with the DVD and Blu Ray regardless of what I play it back on (computer or PS3). I’ve also exported the audio in Dolby Digital and had the same results.

    In the timeline I have tried both leaving the audio gain levels as they are and also setting them to max peak levels to zero.

    As soon as the video starts playing the audio is incredibly loud. I have to set the TV volume level so low just so it sounds normal.

    I made other videos with no songs and some with only songs and didn’t have a problem with those. I’m wondering if combining both has created an issue and I a missing a step to fix it.

    I am using a Dell Studio less than a year old with 8GB ram and windows 8.1.

    I have searched unsuccessfully to find a forum topic that relates to my specific problem.

    I realize that this was posted 2 years ago. I am curious if you have ever received a response? I am experiencing the exact same problem and cannot resolve.

    Yet two more years later I came upon this UNANSWERED post because I have the same problem, only now it’s CC18 already.
    Anybody out there?

    First thing I would do is make duolicates, (with an indicator in the name) of all my sequences. Then tweak audio levels to peak at a much lower level, perhaps -12dB.

    Sacrifice a BD to do a test with one sequence. If that resolves the issue, re-author and re-master.

    System:
    Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
    Win 7 64-bit
    32GB RAM
    Adobe CC 2017.1 (as of 8/2017)
    256GB SSD system drive
    4 internal media drives RAID 5
    Typically cutting short form from UHD MP4, HD MP4, and HD P2 MXF.
