Update:

Within the Premiere Pro project I have two sequences. If I send sequence 1 to Encore that’s when I have the audio problem. If I send sequence 2 no problems, audio is there. Sequence 1 is approx 1hr 30mins, sequence 2 is approx. 10mins.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I have burned a DVD as a test and the quality is not up to the standard that I would want to send out to my customer. The editing process is monitored on a calibrated Sony CRT. I have tried different settings and the problem that I have mentioned above is the best outcome from using Premiere & Encore CS4, I have disks that are actual worse with juddering etc. but I did expect that to happen with the settings being changed. Using the “automatic” settings etc. within Encore is very disappointing.

Regards

John
