Premiere 2.0 Audio level
I was hoping someone could tell me at what “db” level to set my volume level. I have it at 5.02 right now and at times it reaches the yellow zone close to “0” in the audio mixer.
What is the standard?

As long as the audio isn’t clipping (going into the red area) you’re alright.
I like to keep a couple of audio rips from commercial DVD’s available, that contain a wide range of audio – speech, action, dramatic music, etc. I’ll import these files into my projects and open them in the audio monitor and adjust my levels accordingly. -
Vince,
Thanks for getting back to me about this. What software do you use to rip your DVDs? And does it create a VOB file? How would you convert it to be readable in premiere?Sorry for all the questions.

DVD Decrypter to pull the VOBs to your hard drive, familiarize yourself with the DMCA 😉
To decompress VOBs I usually use AVS Video Converter – I’m on a PC, so I decompress to AVI uncompressed, if your on a MAC you’ll probably want MOV uncompressed.
VOBs are MPEG-2 files. You can rename a VOBs file extension to .MPG and it will import into anything that supports MPEG-2.
You can get MainConcept MPEG-Pro for Premiere which supports MPEG-2, for encoding/playback/exporting, though I’ve had limited success with editing MPEG-2 directly.
There’s a QuickTime Pro MPEG-2 codec that’s reasonably priced, that should allow you to export uncompressed video from MPEG-2.No problem with the Q’s, I like to help when I can 🙂
