Guys,
It is definitely an ac3 template problem and there is more to it than using the studio version or just setting dialog normalization to -31 (although it is important that it be set to this value).
Go to the Preprocessing tab under customize template. Then make sure Digital DE-emphasis is unchecked, line mode profile and RF mode are set to none. Also make sure RF over-modulation protection remains not checked.
Under the Bit-stream Tab also make sure that Include audio production information is not checked.
These changes to the template were discovered with hard learned lessons and a lengthy process of trying to figure out how to get adequate volume “out” of Vegas and “into” DVD Architect.
It goes back to Vegas version 5 and DVD Architect version 2.
It still holds true today.
These settings included in the pro version of the ac3 encoder included in Vegas are indeed for various types of Dolby Surround.
The ac3 encoder can do an excellent job at Dolby Surround but it takes tons of research and experimentation to “get it right”
I’ve used the template with the modifications I’ve outlined above and had very good results. Give them a try, I think you will get good results as well …

It has to do with which color-space you are in.
You should be able to find what you need in the manual or under the help topics.
First thing go to Options/Preferences then the preview device tab and look for “Adjust levels from studio RGB to computer RGB”.
See if this option is checked or not. change it. If this helps you great. You probably have a short term solution.
Next you need to research the topic. To learn why some blacks are “blacker than others. Same with whites. Hint: has to do with what used to be a much bigger deal than nowadays, Illegal Colors!
Have fun,
Will

For some Quicktime codecs you need the pro version.
These are usually not found on common types of Quicktime video clips so I would be sure to try the former posted suggestions first before I shelled out the $$ for the pro version.
Good luck,
