In Windows XP to find the Device Manager – right click on My Computer, click on Manage. Click on Device Manager.
In Vista, click Start, Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, then Device Manager.

Doubleclick on IEEE1394, this will show that your Firewire (Ilink) is working.
Look for another entry with your camera name. My cam shows up under Imaging Device. Not all devices show up in the same place, so look around.

Have you ever used the camera with a computer? Usually you connect the cable (Firewire/Ilink) to the Camera and Computer before turning the camera on to playback mode for copying from the tape. The computer will acknowledge that the camera is found and will install drivers automatically.

If this does not happen and you can not see the camera in Device Manager you may have failed entry’s in the Device Manager for multimedia devices. Remove these entry’s and re-boot the computer before turning the camera on again.

hope this helps

Side chain compression will do what you want.

No, not as in Audition ripping the audio from the DVD to MP3. There are plenty of DVD audio ripping programs out there that would rip and encode the audio from chapter points.
You can play a DVD and record the audio in Audition through the “analog hole” all in the same computer.

You don’t want much, do ya. Unless the audio is alone with no other sound you want to keep, it can’t be done well. EQing and noise removal will do this to a degree.
You might have better luck just taking some sound from elsewhere on the video and editing that in. If you have some background noise that would sound right you can make a short loop and add as much as you need. Or at least it could help mask the offensive sound.
Good Luck

Is the camera found in the Device Manager?

[Steven Talley]

Check that you maintain 48 khz sample rate throughout your exports and imports. If it goes to 44.1 khz the length changes, not sure why.

What sound card or interface are you using?
Is it an ASIO or WDM device?
Computer?
Memory?
Plenty of hard drive space?

Now, can you line up the tracks and have it play correctly through out the song?
Does it get worse with each track you add?

[Steven Talley]

Sounds like an impedance problem with the sound card or has it ever worked correctly before? It’s like running a line in signal into a mic input. Way too hot of a signal no matter what the setting is. You could try getting updated drivers for the sound card but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Or you could try an attenuator to reduce the level going in to the input but it could still be just as noisy.

I believe what your hearing that sounds fine is the sound passing through the sound card and to the speakers, not what is being recorded.

Bottom line is…
I would suggest getting a USB or Firewire interface with and ASIO driver for low latency and high quality audio recording. Internal sound cards generally use lower quality hardware with limited inputs. USB interfaces can be found for less the $100.

I don’t use Encore but generally you choose the language through the DVD player’s Audio selection button on the remote. If you can add all the audio tracks then it should just work with no special menu items needed.

It’s called latency, and it’s there no matter what sound card/interface one might use. General use PC sound cards are worse for latency even when using ASIO4all. You could try changing the buffer size smaller to reduce the latency. lower is better.

Or get yourself a cheap USB interface such as a Fast Track or Toneport and the latency should be under 10 milliseconds.
