Check your audio levels in Premiere. You want to keep the peaks in the Master track around -6 dB.

You’re welcome. Glad you got it sorted. 😉

Check for any Overrides that you may have set. Change them to Not Set.

Glad to help. 🙂

Not a stupid question at all.
Unfortunately, the DVD specification does not allow for continuous audio between menus (or any other project element) in a DVD-Video project. So it’s not just Encore; no DVD authoring application can give you this option in a DVD-Video project.
FYI: DVD-Audio does support continuous audio between menus.

[princess] “what if I render the movie, and than cut it at the place where I need to put some extra footage, and then render it again, will I lose some quality ??”
Think about how you would proceed if you were using a pre-rendered clip as the basis for your new edits. Substitute a nested sequence for that clip and you can do everything within the same project by cutting up the nested sequence like you would the pre-rendered clip.

[princess] “Nest what you have into a new sequence, and then add to the beginning of that. Your keyframes will follow the nested sequence”
That should work.
1. Create a new sequence where you will add the audio that you forgot.
2. Drag-and-drop the sequence that contains all your keyframes from the Project panel to the new sequence. PPro will treat the nested sequence as a clip in the new sequence.
3. If the audio you need to add comes before the existing audio, then drop the new audio in front of the nested sequence. Ditto if the new audio comes after the existing audio.
4. If the audio comes in the middle, then razor the nested sequence like you would a clip and insert the new audio where you need. The keyframes that you created and that are part of the nested sequence will “follow” the nested sequence no matter where you move it or how you cut it up.-Jeff

[dale] “I have done a 2 pass VBR on it through enocore- with the standard settings- it can go right down to 1mb if it chooses. i am wondering if i set the lowest it would drop to at about 4 mb to fix the artifacting?”
What program was used to create the source files? And what codec?
Unless you need to squeeze a lot of video onto a 4.7GB DVD-5 blank disc (like more than 1 1/2 hours), then you shouldn’t need VBR. CBR should do just fine.
CBR rates between 6 and 7 (Gene’s 6.8 is good) should always give you great results. Sometimes you can adjust the Quality slider higher and get better results.
As you drop the bit rates, you will see more artifacting in more areas of the video, so that’s not a good solution.

[princess] “Has it got something to do with a difference between clip keyframes and track keyframes?”
Yes. Track keyframes stay with the track no matter what clips are “underneath” them. Clip keyframes will move with the clip.
Much like effects and transitions with video, I recommend getting all of your audio clips placed just right, double-check that you have all of the audio that you need (and in the right order) and then add clip/track keyframes at the last.

1. Avoid pure white text. Really avoid pure white text over black.
2. Avoid highly saturated colors – pure colors bleed and look awful.
3. Avoid placing highly color-saturated text over highly color-saturated backgrounds.
If you are referring to text that is used as the subpicture highlight for a button, then there are additional issues to consider.
