    I didn’t see a forum for DVD Architect so please let me know if I’ve posted in the wrong place.

    I’ve rendered out my videos using mpeg-2 and ac3 audio. When I go to create the video in DVD architect I preview it and audio is spot on. Then when I burn the disk and play it back in my DVD Player (Cyberlink Power DVD) I get crackling in sections of the disk.

    I’ve gone back and bumped the audio down in those sections by as much as 9dB but still get crackling. I’m confused because I get nothing when I playback in Sony Vegas or when I preview the DVD in DVD Architect. Only when I burn a physical DVD.

    Does anybody have any ideas?

    Thanks!!!

    Why don’t you burn the DVD from DVDA? Also, never, ever burn DVDs at the fastest rate available. Other than that, I got nuthin’.

    I’m a goofball. After burning a half dozen DVD’s or so I realized that for some reason Sony Vegas (or perhaps I) had normalized some clips at the wrong level. It was over driving them by 7 or 8 dB. Once I removed the normalization it burnt and plays perfectly off the DVD.

    I’m curious though, not sure what DVDA is. I did a quick google, it’s an audio codec. I couldn’t find it in the codec drop down for vegas renders. Here’s what I’m currently using and it seems to work nicely…

    Video (Mpeg2) Template (DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen)
    Audio (Dolby Digital AC-3 Studio) Template (Stereo DVD)

    Curious what the DVDA stuff is.

    Thanks!!!!!

    DVDA = DVD Architect. It comes with Vegas.
